I’m one of the ones
They came in from the road
This fire burns
on invisible ink
A slow
quiet panic
translates
as blinking lights . .
Words that no longer mean—
words used the way they don’t seem—
Who lost their face
in the dark
casting shadows
lit up by the fire
burns on invisible ink—
Who went out of the way
to let go
even though
there was no undoing
our inheritance—
A steady drumbeat swings—
Who looked down the well—
who fell—
small droplets cling
to a magnifying glass
No,
no, that
wasn’t it
Who dries up and hangs from the sun—
Who spoke in moths—
Who picks up the symbols
and shuffles them
into little boxes of misunderstanding—
Who left behind
Durga’s in the sand—
Who could no longer wait
at the bus stop speakerbox
