Perhaps

By Antoni Ooto

 

Your grave waits
in sun and burr

 

but if I stand over it
and think of you

 

I’m only pretending
to be there

 

and you pretending
I came

 

Cadences of Song

Within this lonely beach
a fog may come
giving the world a place
to disappear, and then
to find itself again.

 

Poems may surface;
their own movement
bobbing
toward truer shallows.

 

On this chosen stages crim
Light breathes through
and a poet finally finds
meaningon an almost visible path in…

 

“natural cadences of song.”
—Hayden Carruth
