If keeping a cat alive by stroking is what it takes,

then I will live forever.

*

Mould like a bird

eating whatever cannot be seen

on the blank side of the curtain.

*

If I live forever

will the mornings fill my heart

and the heart of the tenant before me

with fresher embers

*

Tantruming moon throws light at my house

like unwanted treasure. Go on

do that one more time.

Contributor note (iv)

We can’t throw our voices far enough

to get the rain to come here.

Rain falls on a statue of a soldier on a big tired horse—

rain loves a horse like nothing else.
