on the way home,

a gutter spit life into a dead 

name. and crowded,



    the trees were, when they saw

your body in the snow.  but

       i saw birds blooming on

                bare                   branches

and                       the                             spinning



stopped.       three years

              burst between hot     /       breaths

and the sun   /   behind a cloud

                      giggling.
