The Lesser Vessel
oppositing the everythingas options had dwindledwere seeping back to past
& remanning the vesselalmost immediatelyafter the hull’s been
stoved been abandonedto waters one neverknew could be so cold
what time doesto such strategies
what bleach beliesthe stain of intent
could blink away yearsbut the unmanned ship willslowly founder
& want its buoyancyback stillness suckingdown against desire
to wait it outlook for lightsto lead by degrees
some invented shore crayola & scrapsreceipts & torn envelopes
from that manned worldwe lose sight ofas we sink ourselves
regret opposites intentsunk mirrors a sunsterile stoves its vessel
thinking ignores the thoughtlonging negates the mutilationbut exigency undoes the effort
to right the craft that carriesor was once meant to carry thosewhose decisions I made for them
what mine doesto such trajectory
how each destroyshis tainted body
