The ready-rot of consciousness. Keeps my nose coldpublished in Ottawa by above/ground press
Three of us rode.
Whose rough-guise. Whose road-gyre
The smoke made it so
The wuzz-or-whir. The monologue will not revive
My memory of her.
Three of us drove. The night’s machinations
For twenty-eight long days. It was only May
The stench visible. In the glass
Would the lilacs be in bloom
March 2023
as part of above/ground press’ thirtieth anniversary
