On the common the
Cow pat
Stood
Not one
Not two
Counting fast we
Come to five
Arranged for
Rounders
Bases they became
Run

Breather of life, Flame of youth, Burner of skin, Made of old, Forged in the heavens, Prison of Earth, Orbit maker, Sleep at Northern, Hemisphere night. David A. Robertson 11.06.2022

And the other is not
But both are made?

500 years
I could have lived to…

I saw her on crutches,
I could not speak to her,
As an admission of guilt,

Her distress was palpable,
I did not expect her to feel mine,

In relation to me,
Only,
