2am
warmth
sinks in deep
& the goslings
pay no mind
to spotlights
or truncheons;
we'll learn from them
from goslings from
this flaming moon
so full and late and
shared with the river's
glinting. build slow,
build deep, build nests
in the crooks of necks
and the hollows of our
trespassing spines
to see what flies
in.
