Eartha Davis
agus beatha ath-eagrachadh
together, we
rearrange
grief’s
furniture / lash
love
with
palm / loosen
the litigations
of magpies
& dream
of untouched
daylight / see—
the stars
gossip
with
earthbound
astronauts / tease
wintered
windows
with
the promise
of
blossom / & the moon
has dropped
her
purse … / coins
tumble
over
dreamers
like
ivory
passengers / like
milk
smooched
gold / recurring
loss
made
molten / listen—
love
barks
loud / while
wind
sucks
spiders
from the
drainpipes / ( folding
into
light
like
lovers
fold
into
flesh — )
