Not yours

 

Company unkept

 

Have you felt feather dismasted from bird still perfect only shed as gift 

Here, I brought tortillas today moist from cast iron 

Toss it in whimsy, a shred to lawn 

New homeowners peer parkward from front door the bank owns, I hope they're not cannibals they have a dusty car  

Boy rangers in matchy brown shorts arrive in big white trucks, walk around with trash bags, there's nothing other than loose dogs they ignore

Two butterflies circle 8 I've seen it before the photo self crops, there's pop a beer 

Alone with the company I don't keep, feather trophy mounted in a banana I'll eat perfectly 

Hellos

  

A sunset breeze over sunburnt arm hairs, tree limbs harmonize

Children chant as their family plays soccer

Birds narrate the available space 

Gravitational hellos thrum every atom re relativistic theory 

Cousin called, brother called, universe hung up 

RIP Uncle Jim
