This Visionary Life

  by Chris Dietz
 
Time off - good behavior
this visionary life
finches sing
the neighbors' workers mix concrete
 
October everywhere right now
across the planet
 
Inhale ear
lose bitter
gain eye
in all directions
 
Time out from despair
back to the rafters
this incoherent authenticity
 
Focus fog
eat noise
side order of fury
 
'When I remember what to say
you've already forgotten me'
