Site icon A Hundred Falling Veils

Five Lessons in Disappearing

mostly fallen down
the barbed wire fence—
what’s it to the birds?

*

listening
for the moon—
sound of a heart

*

that hyacinth leaf—
staring at it until it is
no longer leaf

*

in the window
the boy waves at himself
saying he won’t stop
until the other boy
stops waving

*

poet, can you rhyme
with the cherry tree
in spring
