the rise and fall of light
by Madeline Lambglow.
each sunny mechanic
wrapped in itself as I,
fluorescent.
We:
warm yellow birds.
your back in silhouette
at my sooty door.
Delume:
five fingers and a palm.
In each print,
a polaroid of James,
left in grit on my wall.
Incandesce. 05/23/2010 Author's Note: He's gone.
