Four Poems

a song cuts like diamonds

should I hold this in

abandonment             sing/s like it hurts

dreg of ornament       started up

sifter    hope of a capsule

spunk in turmoil          pop in

calling              sing/s like a dreg

opus of ash     tide up

calling night of an apple

fall in cross      bare in

hand    tie wished for face
