we are all at once
we are all at once
secure and insecure
about the space
between us –
with no agreed upon
unit of measurement,
we have to
negotiate every
vibration, adapt
to each curve,
swallow words
in different

the push and pull
of acceleration
with a new gravity

here is the litmus
test that indicates
everything and
captures entire
cities with its
standard unfurling –

enchantment, i
want nothing
to get past you

the standard orchids
the standard orchids
they offered in
condolence is in full
bloom.
each bud appears
to be on
board, making its
seemingly windswept
way to light
with such
sad perfection,
a joyless
footnote
to the story
of your passing
.
