i am interested in less as the minutes pass
reversing suffix and seven digits
into a name you have spoken to my back
and the address of a house,
the inside of which you have seen.
i am interested in a wilderness
of green leaves
weeping
dew
and rain
onto the bed
of damp needles
where I sleep.
i am interested less the longer I go on
shrinking away from a flickering sun
dissecting your body
peering inside your brittle shell
reveals the words
pinned
and displayed on this page
there are shadows
eating the last bit of light
your soul will allow
there is a heart rusted with intention
and half truths tangled in the throat
the rain and wind is
beating a wide path of
fallen trees and shattered stone
through an immense forest
of silence and light
I am not aware that
I am a dry brown leaf
rising and falling
on the wings of
a violent, revealing miracle
and I am not at all interested
in finding gentle landings.
