here
the margins
its all said
illegibly
night
how silence
in the hallway
lasts
cliff ledge your face
dissipates
into a cypress
crow
lifts
through
fog
hills
fold
into
light
smear
humming-
bird
peripheral
burst
loops of bull kelp
smothered in
sea foam what you said
lodges under
a wave / dissolves
your hand beside
a lily
disappears
in wind
light’s
drawn through
half-moon hinged
on blue sky
behind us
cypress
shadow
stretched across
your bare stomach
window
moth’s
wing
within
the sink’s
reflection
flinching
where we
woke fog
traced
the hills
invisible
