the metal is poised:
upright, red, defiant.
the glow is muted,
inhuman /.
the garden
is tired; it asks for
forgiveness.
the metal is poised:
the leaves disperse—
frightened./
the valleys crawl into the sky.
the metal is poised:
you’re/ like a dusty,
aeroplane
window: i see home falling
away
away

I'm experimenting with a new style of poetry, inspired by the works of Chelsea Dingman, among others.
