with the leatherbound

trackwork of a baseball.

dagger, resembling uncut

fingernails for a lifetime.

by sounds of inbreaking traffic.

there's an ache for

every ambrosial brick

worked out like a tooth.

so synergistic commons

can band the prolix of

agape...springtime.

a string of diamonds liquify

from the film of one less sky--

its absence emptying jewel boxes.

right before they permanently

fade--as the process automatically

resumes.

diamonds, trying on rain from window

to mirror.

experiences insomnia on a bed

of ash.
