Scars and Burial

A Poem

The wind tore down one of my eavestroughs and I don’t have the heart to bury the damned thing, but I haven’t got a ladder, either

Change keeps carving deep ruts here miniature explosions of dust and the rubbish we keep hanging onto to be alright with the world

I’d be a better letter-writer if I had anyone to send things to but then I don’t want you to have to know any of this

Immobility frees me up to do some more sentencing but the verdictive tendencies can get me in trouble

I really don’t know why I keep pointing at the scars I guess it’s just a wrestling with skin that doesn’t go anywhere
