As frail hinges
Pivot on a cases door

A miracle is high tragedy

Smiles in boxes
Pass a patterned wall
Recall their voices

The lawn scattered
Tins feed birds
A portion baked for
Absent guests
And the mass edition icon
God sent comfort
Your salvation
But who grants absolution
For sins that
Never were committed
Tension makes a tangle
Of each thought
Becomes an inconvenience
Sound as it never penetrates
As servile edges

Thought mistaken
For a memory
A dress length
