UNRELATED CONDITIONS

PLINTH

While the weeks’ water ballooned
the gap and down 
the efface with no arms and anywhere else,
I lost you

walking through the wheat. We both 
had our eyes kind of down
or away.

We were both sort of
waiting

to be plucked from
there.

CHANCE MEDLEY

A hi heard like a stick 
through the algae on the surface of a pond is
sweet on the whispers that 
we don’t deserve that we don’t deserve 
it

LAND!

At once, clear of fog and sailing to a love that can draw 
my spinning compass
umbilically by its needle, like for jumping the battery 
or kicking the start
or pumping fluids life-affirmingly in

It’s here

Where I’m dry and sure of foot
beside a very 
cute lady tying spring lines

PAIN

Held in a basket 
with the spinach and the beans
will split
digestibly into twelve easy
egg shapes
