PROJECT REBUILD


PREVIOUS TENANTS

Signals


We all hide
behind closed doors,
old pine,
dusty streetlamps,
aimless poetics with a need for order,
failed mimicry we call progress.

A single boundary might suffice---
one unencumbered signal.
A crow wheeling overhead.
Rain to cleanse our mind's eye.

I am not your Rolodex.
Dear God, please don't enter my kingdom.
