For my hour, you give me three seconds: countdown to when someone finally fires a gun. And I run. Straight. Fast. Only to circle back to this point: arrival/departure. An hour: months of silence. (I tell myself stop counting.) Blurred peripheries and cold…
When at night they fly
the sky seems so much closer/fragile. I open
palms to see if one would comeby the name of Icarus.
