or

sneeze and blow

 

in order

…

stars and their worlds

the circulation up down tree

 

take seasons for sequence

 

all night then the waking

 

a calendar composes lives

curl up too

 

revolution and rest

round around the garden

 

one step two step

a roof and the moss grows over

knives sharp

 

far far in your head

so much falling down

 

notes bloom on the page

 

voice an inward vanish

 

the clock shipshape Bristol

a heart gives out at last
