Latter Day Letter [https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1081627664932159620/1148820475057815553/anti_pirate_graphic_-_walking_in_sky_-_poetry_vol_1_-_white.png]

This is a letter sent

to explain everything,

to divulge the changing

secret of sea to air

to mist to rain to sea.

Love letters

are folded paper cranes

which, despite exquisite

design, fail

to launch their own flight.

Such letters should be

written as flesh,

Braille to be studied by

cold hands in solitude,

ice fingers moving

slowly across

a topographical map

of bellies, lips, and

thighs.

This heart was once

a secret-sealed box

that held a belled ball

turned over and over

by curious hands.

My mind is a dime-store

snow shaker

in a land without true cold.

Since snow is unseen,

my head is thought to be

scattering ashes.

It has been said that it

holds intact remains

of the lost

people of Pompeii.

IV [https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1081627664932159620/1148820475057815553/anti_pirate_graphic_-_walking_in_sky_-_poetry_vol_1_-_white.png]

The passing of time

is a diesel locomotive

that leaves black in its wake,

with smoke that bleeds into

paper blank sky.

Its clouds float lonesome

high above the timberline.

Air is water

without lust.

It erases every

letter it writes.
