Midpoint


from the ABC set Through the square window

Curtains of fragmented titanium
Make infinite bars at the window.
An elegant fusion of water and air,
Eider soft, heavy with sorrow,
promises a gentle death
by interment.
Precipitation too lazy to make the climb
Vanishes the world by sleight.
Immured by such simple elements,
We Wait for Mays freshly laundered sheets.
