How To Make A Toy Boatwith A Propellor

INITIAL AWARD


INITIAL



In the bark of the tree
write once, time.
Each letter scratched,
each drop
left stuck in the trunk that gesture
indelible
that light in the eyes with which we sculpt
,
dint of insisting,
life difficult for us today remember. Your initial

and mine as a spell to invent ever renewed every Saturday
classless

each bike race to reach the sky.

many times have I broken after my name on the receipts,
tired grass and the mortgage, without the syllables

ripped smelled like wood, damp earth
,
of mud on shoes.
What has become of your letter,
mine.
What will become of us.
