Kit Kelen #732 - skull house

732
skull house

for Robyn and Adam
and Griffin and Sol


bright
all winter witted

lit from the past

just some green tendril up to tell
another solstice
too much sun

lost in tomb city
we are
polished concrete of the soul

our well lit deaths a welcome
rictus
each unearthed
like a punchline

so you see how we went

so little dust
so few webs

fine private place

the knitting lies
stray hands could be coaxed

all bicycle bones propel it
to stillness

sky too bright for foreboding
eyes too blue

yet we still breathe
this politics of here and now

your house-swap guest
inhabits nature morte

finds us in still life history
the cockroach is anatomy

skull of the crocodile eludes for now

the cicadas are to be released

it is only a matter of time
