Shifts

the day shifts, we talk to each other the way
we talk to each other, the luster fades, our
bodies fill with sap, there is a shift, joy
reappears before another personal narrative
burns to a heap of citations, continuing in
complicated machinery, becoming blood knots
in space, both the living and dead surround
the present has been. I open my eyes in the
full force of fear and hesitation, frozen in
passing passageways with endless
permutations, subjected to violence, stupidity,
and love.

The Dud

Have you ever gone to light a bottle rocket and the fuse sizzles and burns with anticipation…and then…nothing? No dramatic lift-off, no awes...
