\nflying + swimming + roaming
\ndie a million ways
\nfall into silt
\npressured by time
\nnow with pick + brush\u2014
\nI read those stories
\nin roadcuts + deserts + quarries<\/p>\n

\nbone to ash:<\/em>
\nseven pounds
\nmore or less
\ncooled in a plain cardboard box<\/p>\n

more, no break<\/em><\/p>\n

and taken to the sea\u2019s verge\u2014
\nI sift slowly
\nmismatched pieces and grey powder\u2014
