A HEAVEN HAVE TO HAPPEN

In the stalked air, three dogs grave along the arm

of a sea wall. They number more

in the keepsake prairie.

Be guarded. Chamfer the vexed cork under a hilly light, if need be. Bend your grievances over the boulder hedge, into a tone tartan night,

venting left.

We were all careful

people, once, serried in the shallows.

Be terrible, be elastic leeches. I hung on a drug, a belief emptying out

into the morning steam, along the coping stone,

yes, my levitating head, yes,

your frequent state flower

I lauded to lament.
