Dorothea Lasky / Thom Donovan
from Deadpan

Like a form of hunger your

Life that will never give you

Those things you thought

 

You wanted when only night

Can be saved every refusal

You made for the effort of it

 

And the survival of all efforts

Noontides the will was like

Those leaves you seemed to

 

See rustling above your head

The fires your eyes lit-up re-

calling their past detachment.
