somewhere above a
forest, a bird drops the seed
of a poem, and it

skims the treetops, instinctively
landing where there’s enough darkness

perched
on the landing
between
the fifth floor and the
roof, we found it –
a super blue blood
moon
dangling
out the window,
wedged
in a sliver
of brooklyn sky

arranged in such a way as

those childhood thoughts

there is so much

there is so much
promise in the
simple readiness
of a pair of

we take and
the steps we
avert, there is
unswerving
allegiance in
every landing

you have to
disentangle
yourself

from the sky
to lessen
the pain
