A man’s voice and a woman’s voice at
once
once
I have to check these clues with my
therapist
therapist
my vow stands beside me and saves me
from myself
from myself
leave your letter in plain sight to
baffle the police
baffle the police
bird further away the hill to hear us
one day I swear it they’ll come out
from the hills again
from the hills again
cleanse us of this debt-crazed world
whip the money-makers out of this
temple world
temple world
how dare you listen to music doesn’t
it tell you something
it tell you something
fragments of silence all we need at a
window
window
to believe we are the only ones is blasphemy
listen to those who walk invisible
and talk to them too.
and talk to them too.

Quiet describing landscape never seen
by names alone a wind comes through
the fog
the fog
the way a wave moves through the sea
displacing nothing
displacing nothing
matter is not the same as what it
does
does
there is a mindful moving in all
things
things
but talk about love instead the
cellist’s bare knees
cellist’s bare knees
press the earphone closer to the
silence
silence
wanted to sit all day and think but
not think thoughts
not think thoughts
just the ordinary mistral just the
light passing by
light passing by
impossible angles the edges of lost
things
things
they scare me more than a half-eaten
apple
apple
Eve’s disobedience still not quite
complete.
complete.
