zaks birthday
time eases through heartache like snail slow favors
waving the sward of wintery snow geese across edges
turning fire instant breaking points of sulphuric mounds
within the thought of without a shout remains chambered in echoes
zakary the elfling opens his wall for welcome rainfalling birthdays
wake with the song they bring as abstractions recycle the shell
cracked old syrup around the cup stuck to abrubt rental minutes
time keeps the balance asking questions until eventual collapse
laps of snack shack midlake sounds reminding radio heads of gowns
weeping with the section of elderly depression hunkering down for winter
