BRENDAN SHERRY

HEART OF ALENE

 

There is no drawing
tonight and tomorrow
about the scene of the gap

no road after
clearing the border

only houses
oysters
and overcast

there was a minute
you did not want
the world to be at rest

but considered all of it
as the continuation
of a heartbeat

the success of white
and gray stone
over the pall of water

the sequences over which
heaven must lock
in order to equip
itself with a place
between gunpoint
and call
