Laurinda Lind

This Same Universe

​

We have the words for stars

as if they are neighborhoods

 

nice enough to need names,

brains dusty in the dark.

 

The whole loose house

will want new wood: when

 

is a good day to go high,

how unsteady, the heart

 

in the long wind where

I am a bag of breath.

 

The lake bleaches black

once the clock quits. There’s

 

this light that’s not alive,

then it’s light again.
