Hazy evening, your mother pulls up at the summit
outside the house your grandfather grew up in
and in the warmth of negroni and flushed sky
the jobs that he went through/ the things that he left you
it’s dizzying how casually we can die
Let’s stay here for a minute, looking out at the strait
lingering weightless over this boardwalk of a driveway
At this quiet end of the street
weighted blanket of pollen/ threaded to each blossom
the rents rise around you like teeth
Tell me how much will matter this time next year?
I used to want to sleep through these years and now I fret at the flow of them. But never, let us never go back
Hazy morning, weather boards and radio static
Stare at the ceiling
mould like stars blessing the fabric
in this quiet, quiet state
imagining day that somebody else points out the place
