every once
& again
when a sigh
escapes &
someone
thinks you
farted instead
just own it
& carry on
carrying on

whatever pigeons want
let them have—
which is to say
sometimes giving up
is the best option
especially if
you’re carrying around
loaves of bread

months long sun
breaks & slides
across sky pan
& the fog &
funk rise to
greet us in
beds split by
sweat-slick sheets
& look there’s
not much to
say except sorry
about the garage
door & hey
did you ever
buy any plums?

swamp summer hip-high
in minnow mud &
frog scum, sky
an open tear
crowded by shrub-top
& tree-crown & convent
thoughts caught on tongue
in birdsong & chirrup
& things left unsaid
in untwinings & what
did you expect?

blessed be
the meek
for they
are quiet
as chuch
mice nibbling
blessed be
the poor
for in poverty
they know
want & knead
their daily
bread
blessed be
the dying
for they
are nearer
to peace
blessed be
the thirsty
for their
desire is
never quenched
blessed be
the young
for they
are spared
from knowing
blessed be
you who
wonder for
your awe
shall keep
you free
