The Way I'll Remember It
December comes,
calls out to us.
I wake suddenly for work
and wash my hands
in the dark.
Outside, the snow
lists through the air
and settles into
the long pause
of the Earth.
5 a.m.
cold smells of sweet smoke,
exhaust, the wind turning
against the cab of the truck.
Before long,
the road will begin
to taper off then
disappear completely.

EN ROUTE
Night passes
On the length
Of a single breath
Like walking
Alongside the Arcola
With my father
On tables of clay
Lined with parted bowls
Where the heel
Was first pressed
Into the grey yoke
Before arching forward
Towards the nail
That has grown back
Unnoticed.
