Miz Quickly’s Part 2 Cento Rework & PA’s Object
Crouching in the Bedsheets (Part 2: Reworking)
Winter.
Time to eat fat,
to fight against
walls and blankets,
and a tapestry
of pewter mornings.
Winter
bleaching porcelain
and sunsets, and grinning
like Houdini eyes.
It crouches, heroic,
and rides the spaces
you pass through,
roadside trails
of beer bottles
and dead birds.
Make it be spring!
Of air blossoming
in conversation, and
forests thick with legend.
But this is winter.
Time to eat fat,
and crouch
into bedsheets.
