PRESENT CONDITIONS ~









————————————




One Month Later


My mouth still moves

around language



that baffles me alive.

My vision blurs



but wherever I look

a world wakes.



I sit for hours

chanting in silence



the name of each thing

attached to each shadow



waving slowly

over white stucco.
