something close to hand
word centre
because nothing closes
the hand on
the fragile facings
face to face, appreciate shallows if taken
as water, or
wind moves
words, motivating the throat
in torsion of trees, or
space covered freely
in secret with
cold, shining
and sufficient resistance in form
something always said more
where this memory sings
rifting works
easy,
not to solve the light
