not Waving


I wish

I knew how to talk to

you sprang

from your sad father's brow

fully formed

an errant thought

begun as chicane

I am

a shoot

a spiral tattoo spent

in your garden

bidding return absent

shadow or

the mantle of evening

black

rivers flow

from

beloved sea

I grow tired

the words

inert

in the font

of my mouth
