autumn 

the retrograde of waiting

towards  

 the night train to Vienna 

 narrow bridge

the holding of a breath 

in slow motion

 rose garden‬

‪all these lovely flowers‬ and

‪the flies prefer shit‬

 BANG

the robin has hit the window 

he’s dead!!

 they filmed

a helicopter that crashed

filming a bus crash

 the rickety pier 

between a thought

and a poem

 my writing slopes

in a different direction

• new school year

 language the key to unlocking the key

 that tree one day a

shelf for memorabilia 

~ life’s rings 

 reverse biography

home becomes a destination 

diaspora a beginning  

 creativity

both draining and fulfilling 

at the same time
