from kith & kin:
September
it’s the mist
it’s an oak titmouse in the feeder
it’s not a privation a list
of what not to do but the no
vote’s loss is depressing
what would have united
by rending that delight
of negation to hold where
one wants to attract the bait
of cunning napping with Beth
who’s all bone & lumps the days
are shortening her “night’s
night” come memory
an artless shape better
dwell in disorder with dust
