between the patterns

between the patterns
we see are the designs we
miss, until someone

starts absentmindedly picking
at it, not to win nor lose

missing the look of

missing the look of
the moon from this particular
street is perhaps too

specific – the tilt of these
branches, the curve of the sky

somehow, we are still
making predictions, given
how often we miss

every time we miss

every time we miss
the sunset, a layer of
dreams turns stale, flakes off

who depart the

about each other
will never catch up

one in eight children

one in eight children
are traumatized by
that early morning

brake sigh, the
unmistakable
national school
bus chrome,
shrinking in
the distance
