make good neighbours
i snuck into your yard
and redded my mouth
with last spring’s
pomegranates;
the seeds came up
after the snow faded
back into the eaves
&
we negotiated
a truce,
the excruciating
pauses
in the name
;
(h a d e s)
who knew love
could be like this
a gate into the sea
(both horn
and ivory) ?
who knew
in one thing dying,
a gap
make good neighbours
one thing
and then
bright auroras,
(the sea,
lapping)
another?
