A Minute of Silence for My Arrow


I’m too long in the tooth for this game
I got nothing in my pocket like a flower
The whole countryside appears to beg
Color from my gray pant cuffs what?
Between profit and ruin some of them
Beg so ill-fatedly among ill-fated heroes
Their eyes bloom with verses yet
Unwritten words that sing of sorrows
Full of hate and despair bitter things
We don’t see how it is with us we
Wield a simple lasso for a single hope
A desire to articulate the vowel of stars
To sing more sweetly than the taut
Bow of irrelevancy in velocities of chance
