In a world where beauty aligns with dismay...

Take a Closer Look
     For my friend, who is surveying the rubble


Take a closer look:
Over nine years past
How they tumble into sticks
The forms we cast

Most of the structure:
Fallen away, fascinating
Still, you say, a stout
Monsoon course

The rubble: You’d pick
Its dusty bones and names
But shards and boards
Run shallow to the sea

Relations aside: Hum
Ming in and out of tune
Eating Chinese for a year
In Guangzhou

That voicemail Voice: You
Selected over your own
In the middle of your connection
You have reached a number

Of course: You stay
With café tables until close
Until she is asleep and served
By documents

Buddhism: Surprise
Ingly has courted disarray
As some would flirt with helplessness
Eyewitness to a perfect mess 

But you: are standing in
The tidy ruins of your time
Listening to air pour into
And out of, cracks

Take a closer look:
Over nine years past
How they tumble into sticks
The forms we cast
