suspense

"seems impossible and is"
to soothe or make possible
a large opening through which
meaning might fit or close
down so narrower legibility
might prance unawares.

there was no one to say
this is how it's done.
tomorrow is today marks a
month and
the streets look the same and
aren't. the bay seems
roiled, untamed, legendary.
a reunion of sorts, heliotropic
parenthetical, the orchids facing
the wrong way & the
decision coming naturally
undone. people always ask
questions, that's what we suppose
we love about them. about us
though the let down could be
softer after a lifetime of
carrying objects around.
