Someone asked me the other day — "what's the sort of poem
do you like?"
All types!
But here's one I read the night before, before falling off to sleep, and I marked it:
The untitled poem is by Douglas Crase from his forthcoming book
The Revisionist and The Astropastorals
(Nightboat Books, 2019)

Back on the edge of regret
Around the corner from should have
Down the street from forget
Out on a limb with willing
Too far gone to remark
Close to the tip of almost
Up slip creek in the dark
