CLIFF FYMAN
Zero Hour
This morning is slowly moving away from
the moment which is hard to collect my being
in
A series of disappointments led to this day
if looked at would bring me cascading back
to a thick room I used to live in without
hands
with relatives and friends none of whom
would take out the
garbage
making the urge to
travel a kind of grace
in an open place to take off the shirt
to rearrange my looks without anyone
noticing
and be healed in the confidence of velvet
pockets
The heart wants to go back it
always wants to go
back
following the
digressions of last night's wine
but thankfully hands are made in front
of the body naturally to snatch from the
air
a hat of sky with the faith to wear it
