LOWISH HUM, COOL FUSS

Like hawks tipping, fluttering, over likely ruin—

how what looks to be patience isn’t patience

at all, more like hunger and instinct squaring

off before joining forces, late sun, soon the night,

soon enough the kill—I’ve been, as best as

I can, honest. I can talk about longing, sure,

or I can change

the subject. They say innocence

is a kind of insanity, for example—let it fail, as it

should, as it has to … But why can’t innocence

be instead a boat, slowly coming about, set free

by accident, beneath it the rocks against which

sturdier craft, I know, have shattered? I’ve done myth—

history’s easy. I came a long way, sir, to reach you.
