I pawed through your town like a bear cub,
clawing its nails into sand.
Defeated in evenings, caught drinking.
There’s nothing to do but to wait for the future around here.
I was burning to feel an importance when you were flickering.
Four stages and graces came calling out for a redo,
“And having a real, hard go of things:
Can make sages of us,
Patch the hole in the ceiling,
Repair bone from dust”,
Spoken light on the window fogs up.
I called your old phone just to hear you,
Shuttling your missed calls to a mailbox all full.
Held safe inside indigo armor now, I know.
I’ll never get to you through those dial-tones:
Leading beyond the turnstile,
I’d swear on anything I heard you.
