all that's left after
sharpened steel has done scraping
tepid water doused
soap sting and hot coffee steam
and the wind and the
dust and the iced rain chewing
dive through the pooled light -
eyelash shaded - to the maze
dim lit and hostile
beyond weather's wildest dreams
i tried to warn you
but now you're lost as i am
no one left free to save us

clouds tied themselves to the dirt
long wet strings
tree-leaf-sludged gutters
streetlights embarrassed to dim
swallowed by the drowning air
all the life of the place quiet
your window cracked open
for the sound of it
the rain's breathing toying with your fingers
as you're toying with that warm skin miracle
to the thunder crack
or the slow flood building
to breach and rush wild
