raze

,
a
bird
small
enough
to
fit
inside
the
coiled cage
of
my
fist
ran
across
a
raised
cement
block
where
the
sidewalk
met
the
curb.
quick
,
compact
steps
, interrupted
by
moments
of
absolute stillness.
i
was
a
thin
plank
of
wood
collecting
dirt
beneath
an
old
park
bench
.
i
could
see
most
of
the
moon
behind
a
thin
mist
of
clouds
,
but
i
couldn't
see
my
next
move
.
last_night
the
moon
was
bright
and
pure
of
heart
,
made
manifest
by
the
most
lucid
airspace
i'd
seen
in
weeks
.
i
was
the
bulbous
body
of
an
ant
in
constant
motion
.
tonight
i'm
a
loose
-limbed legume
waiting
for
a
celestial
body
to
show
itself
so
my
eyes
have
something
closer
to
their
own
size
to
latch
onto
.
there's
nothing
just
now
.
but
i'm
prepared
to
wait
a
very
long
time
.
