Summer 2025 | Poetry

Dead bell ringer can’t say
g-d’s name 

Unaddressable it wasn't you     moth on the hot wall of the city             hot and plain   

 

Woolly, gambolling      legs      a peroration                  saying nothing  

 

For these legs    if I’m god          I repent                        your eyes         ordinary           your death 

           

Close on your heels       leaps    living   off the boathouse           slides under the lake’s flat surface
