Parading

That’s / what I meant about the hazards

We grew up proud of our country.

No man can give me any word but Wait,

I have just realized that the stakes are myself

At night I wade knee-deep into the water

Try to stay awhile longer.

I took to the thicket at dawn

thrill of the pulsatile universe unfolding across time,

Hold it like a crystal

next time / you order coffee watch more carefully as you pour
