Jesus Moses

poems offhand
it’s a celebratory
ankle-deep, waste basket
-
of words beyond this point.
-
with your favorite name on it
the pins drop like God’s a mapmaker
the street light points back
a handsome evening of the un-level.
-
and aside:
(is the stove on?
what ghosts this creak?
what age these knee caps?
if mildly younger than I?)
-
and it’s dark, and it’s early,
but there’s light, and it’s late.
when i’ve been up for Light,
it’s a handsome evening
-
good night.
