When her speech had been set free she began to sing
valescence
a calming

rocks and the shore
terrain

orange and green
a prayer shawl

wal-low
wander

David Harrison Horton

To near the finish
ostrich
the first snows of absence

to ratify beautiful
to discard

says nothing else
purse-lipped

a xerox of her passport photo
all reasonable requests

David Harrison Horton

To one’s own roof
Mars vacating
to a house of walls
interior

to collect, a calm
perhaps unfounded
to collect

to plan

—All right, if you promise not to cry, though

David Harrison Horton
