notes for pieces

There is this fragment
that wants torn love in this house
clapboards birch bone bare
shuttered windows of flag and fabric

cinatown cadillac
beeswax vapors
be gentle
show mercy

table of chance and crackers
pop pop popping
felted dreams and stories 

drawn from old quilts and trolls
wonderland lined
weighted with want and hours
pop pop popping
light upon black need

ease joy bliss

sometimes the sounds that call us home are not melodious
