Any Given Moment

 
Fluently

 

 


Awake I saw the wasp that stings hickory
into a nursery and helped it
choose the leaf for stinging and writing
saw the spaces in the page
we call rivers the words then flatboats
though meaning does not run
like my face flowing silently
all night into and out of every window I pass
