"son gone" #26




Hands
we need
eyesight
hard mirror
no deal
and over laughter
a sumptuous thought
as incredible
as doubt.
You faint.
Bring some ice.
Good news,
I guess,
to run or fly,
be held and hold —
still evidence
or instinct
or reason
sulk.
How many remain
at distance?
The cider for
the cry.
Burst breath
distract us.
A moment overwhelm'd
and sad.
First surf lessens,
vertigo
rain too,
suddenly.
