Already forgotten


Welcome to March
to all of its muddy heaving
no one knows what will happen next
because we are rolling
we are full of violent and
intemperate fantasies

We are alive in the dead month
when we could have danced on
top of silos filled with
summer's harvest
felt ourselves tumble amongst
champagne skies
with you I might have smelled the
promise of damp
earth

Instead we shovel slush together
break our elbows as
we slip on what we
thought were only
shallow puddles

But we are still brimming full
so let's scythe the progression of
our destruction together
right here
right here in the fields that dare awaken
once again

Now is so unlovely and so surprising
so full of resolutions never predicted
I know nothing more
than this

We are what is dead
