ALL WE’VE LEARNED, WHICH ISN’T MUCH

CENTO

This murderous little world
on this suburban street
in a column of moonlight,
in a documentary that remembers the dead.

If we are separated
in the solitary evening of water,
shake out your dreams
up and down the street
marked by bones, rocks too large.

This is a game, and we are winning.
