this is forgiven
if the uniform fits
postponed

at the first showing
this is the tension mold
of frozen icicles

and it feels like it's snowing

postponed
at the first showing

this dance is out of rhythm
we trip on excess steps
postponed

at the first showing
you speak in tongues
tremors that warn us of ourselves


born in hearts
etched in cold

swingsets pay
the playground toll


tremors that hold us
tremors that warn us
nothing bleeds like
