PREVIOUS TENANTS
Vancouver Special
Beauty – only failed attempts:
a vibrancy
we are not longed for.
Only mislaid dates:
a square peg-hole
varnished and glossed
but the wrong shape for us.
We sit at the bottom of a pit,
the sky visible
through a shrinking punch-hole, our
fists full.
While we’re down here we may
as well eat the dirt.
