Cracked Fabergé Egg Of Yes
Alison calls my life lost. I haven’t quit
combing the gold curls of eulogies
friends write instead of saying I’m sorry
which is, somehow, too simple
a knot to tie. I won’t be effaced
from scorched earth. Airplanes spiral
pre-crash. Less smoke when dragon
meets butterfly net,
the gravitas of physics plucking flight
from a future’s marrow.
April is as much blooms as it is rot.
Don’t expect differently.
