latchkey fragments
the credit crows acrid the bric-a-brac crisp
as it falls the wall of the valley vain and holy
hear it wail a welter of shallow tinkering
the flag a mint you grab mount to your mouth
the instruments puff the notes through apart
in your heart the hard spittle of the better body
knot of muscle a trickle from the bottle
hanker a hank of rope to plait apart
a dram of sifted salt you wept in the
whipping of planted banners
the flying flag a craggy face to the south
of the house a slough where you can sluff off
the habit holy or in vain the timing tepid
the wisdom an absent testament what words
bar the answer you anxious a murmuration
the birds’ angle folding a turnkey tempest of air
