Angina, after
the vessel broke,
tumbling out all the gifts.

You will take a long walk
thinking about the moon
in wilderness of lonely trees
of mid December.

There were no blood-
spots on the street, after the
removal of hoofers.

You would not under-
line the red verses. The stray
full stops alter the pain.

When you repeat
the names, I start forgetting
who were the sinners.
