Midwinter


Midwinter thought so in absentia by now clearly and left
as was walked onto the pavement which was moving slightly
instead follow the roots arrayed under the indecisive trees
In absentia more to be by the omission was led away back to
a miniseries was made no one starred no one played music
stirred as fortunate collected invasive the less interference
Was better was coated with quicklime on the face shadowed
sugared in the way any would have had it if a doctor had said
you have so many years ahead I do not know what for the best
Place where you can must be the door or what we believed was
supernatural as if enough went on after the rest was altered
to fit somebody some body a pupae a chrysalis sent by moths
Midwinter followed to allow the otherness of feeling to murder
though by who or what lacked interest in even the monks or nuns
solidly wandering into the back garden of black chrysanthemums
Cheats cover the ground or billow as the exultant happens that
should have but turned back the forest known by the territory
carved variations on the striated bark one after the collapsed
Being was resigned a patient evasion happening in algorithm
though not in tandem or thought less than that particular instance
warranted internal inquisition rain poured into the broken glass
Those who stumbled found the food was less than they thought
and traveling not what they weighed to inhabit as if to finish off
the pap they chewed with teeth green and dark as gravestones
Yes
