it's a library for the small sins
and the small victories

The police car flies by

looking for a way to recover
The haze of mud
coats the window like a wedding vail
in the marriage of the long nights
and the solstice afterglow

He wonders why it takes a long bus ride
to trace the line from the edge of his sweater
to a place he once called home
and the landscape lined with a lot of bad weather
