Untitled poem for today

Untitled


You called out the ghost on the blank page

barely breathing with dots that extend its presence

those heavy black birds that landed in your yard

like dumbbells waiting in the crook of time

slow as feeling the escape of years

you called out white noise clawing at the eardrum

pulled tight through the synapses a vibration you

wouldn't need to cripple the stillness with

you always you settling gray clouds in a lung-made

white dog sleep out and out beyond up

one dream poured a little of its dripped tongue

come see the white painted ones play their best red

against pride of country turned tomato fight

come see the dresses so holy you'd begin again



s.m.g.
