a twitch. a mile. a thought. a city.
Write
next door cuts death from roses
short scratch afore ink floods nib
nib floods cosmos
houses on-the-wonk
sit seconds apart
semantic fields of reservation
satin skin
fiddle with this quiet
roll it deftly
between forefinger
and thumb
breathe common time
andante at the window
watch a muted hedge betty
dig
