sky and congestion
up ahead—
why wait in line
with this chewed boot,
this cold breakfastriver below
and everywhere
the straight face
of a season
passing—long mile
separates ice
from icehere—maybe
a whole work—knife cut, bleached peppers,
vinegar and lightround clock
is a loose knot
in time
a plain devotion
