The Purpose of A System is What it Does {5}

evening reeks of wisteria
& dog shit city springtime heeds
that dragonfly wing imprinted
in concrete a toddler screams her
run bliss sidewalk dislodged by rouge

roots each inhale peril each exhale
time being progress & repeat
profess an oasis - instead -
of faith old men in the choir
belt belief brinks of weeping who'll

meet up at the wrack line where
we'll sort out possession/need
debts of grief & that great garbage drift
housing blue neustons & shame were
other kin inevitables

awaiting their momentous
only to shed common as weeds
blood wads on the wand when she said
or rather didn't - discover
a silence so stupid the home

where she's soil & sunflower
revised just like dark energy
just like tides take back their insistence
every day made redundant & of
it these bones will become those
