We said,
a blue Brahms
opening for
instant called across.
They meant,
churches are
open stiff
parlours.
Later, it was
understood
like trips to inside
parks or rancheros
blossoming
along the river.
We replied
in kind.
In kind was as
winsome as a sail
over endless eagles,
the date of
approximate,
the deltoid muscle
lifting as much.
Replies were
enamoured.
A rhythm
existed in
part song, in part
closing
particular, in
part sighing
after running.
Degrees cut
into every
day.
The rest was
masquerade
filled to
capacity.
We all
could have
said as much.
