unfurl

& now more than less

longer than less

less than fleeting

all have to remember

twine slowly unfurl

years reassemble

paper dolls 

fine happy now glossy

feeling raw weekly

pauses home upstairs

windy nights waiting

for trains chills winters

smoking on platform

train over back to Manhattan

bridges iced water

always break always

now stop here to go

you’re welcome for the generous

hot French press this morning

doubts paper

dolls unfurl always break

can always wave with winds

liquid pig cranky cranky

with cans of wine darkly

presented squeal squeal

what did ye say ye do ye

O ye write poems & dance do ye

& do ye do the dances in chants do ye

chances that ye do ye do

O thank ye for the hot French

press falling steam fast

from yr made ceramic

artistic inclinations spilling

from pockets stashed bits

of expression crumbled

on yr floor next to yr broken

banjo go ahead & go

go go go ahead & go

gone hate will blow into blossoms of regret

& with yr alcohol hate will be one ye know

to be home in yr malice

as yr piano solo ends exceedingly

to grinding notes more often then not off kilter
