Which of us is gone
which away from
this is a third space
word-made uninhabited
the flowers are asterisks
contested passages
if flags then yellow alert
nothing less certain
than what the world gives
a waxen solidity
that passes
grass that receives
our tread and erases
all flesh is
yet how we grasp.
