glahn

the liner of this coat
the way the dust sits in like teeth brought together

really aids my imagining
that i haven't
moved in years

always coming down they are...
from a mountain
or maybe just the high stairs
of a lodging on the lower hill

plunking down pocket change
now with dates dubious
and preventive measures against
counterfeiting out dated

but hey... this coat
this very fitted coat
it more tender finishes
sulking in worst places

separating when i move my arms
