First Line: To the head bobbing in the gunsight


To the head bobbing in the gunsight
we preferred an
illness of cold degrees and withdrawals: this too is
hate, I know, but this
twig turns idea pursued for
a year in limbo. And we, applause
faded, inhabited the night,
the elusive, marvelous springboard. Penetration
of sun in grain, which is mother. Survivor
whose name is father.
