One by one he vanishes, part
of a long line I don’t remember
falling around, covers the open
book please close your eyes,

No Poem Is the Only Poem. No Story Is the Only Story.
One by one he vanishes, part
of a long line I don’t remember
falling around, covers the open
book please close your eyes,
Nesting on the outline of a window a little broken handle used to turn
the grating system now clogged with rust & silt. I once clouded rooms one
was afraid to stay in for fast escape.
