Calendar

2023

October—
Woven in heat, tangled in that box—
the air only recalled as brazen black and orange.

November—
Running labyrinths, hungry halls,
empty classrooms colored that plain, late blue.

December—
Sunroof framing the rain above,
pools of cold and clear form a dome—
those pattering sounds encase us.

February—
Metal tin once peeling with blue—
marked at the highest point of our town,
overlooking that road home.

—— 2024——

2025

January 19th—
Undetected, cutting through static white—
black metal skin sweating,
shearing through dark roads with actual precision.
Sinking feet, and powder-sugared hair.
Orange and cream filled the air.

January 28th—
Blocked buildings, standing at absolute, always rigid.
Window after window—one and the next.
Patterns the passing train makes.
Hollow, clanking songs the railings sing.
Stinging—that standing there.
And the cold knows you’re already bare.
