Corners, for Charlotte (Collected poems)




Corners

There were feelings once
now there is nothing no
not nothing something gone a
footprint in wet sand or
hairs caught in a wristband
a stain of wine in faded outline
on the stairs an old pistachio
shells ensconced inside a drawer
like little borrowers once there
were feelings buried here
like IEDs deep and incendiary
evidence of wrongdoings and done
arraigned against me there
are no feelings for the things that go
back into the night without a song
disappearing like words erased

to this day they haven't gone away
