One Letter Word
Accidental Seabirds

This is the place where you died

night after night after night

A cotton covered fortress of foam

unknown patterns emerge, then come the words

to label every stone that stirs


Here’s to the death of your newborn

one letter word that you pulled from the sea

it was careless, a concept, no contract

no wonder didn’t make the cut

when there;s another one


A scarab drags the sun through a cloud and comes down

tells your sisters not to fear him’

but don’t you dare go near him

The day burns your eyes nearly blind, unkind

messenger bird sings the absurd

in hopes that her voice is heard


Cheers to the death of your newborn

one letter word that you pulled from the sea

it was careless, a concept, no contract

no wonder didn’t make the cut

when there’s another one


There’s a line in the mirror

It’s a crack in you

through which night escapes

The light screams in fear of the new

when we are old


This is the breath you were born with

Blows around, then calms down, then starts over
