I'd Like to Say a Breeze Weighs More Than

I have ever weighted
and in and through these chambers
dock walls evolve toward pliant bead positioning

I'd like to say the Calder here is spackled with inductive reach
amid the playthings with priority
and simpler numbers calm the precis left onscreen

I'd like to say carnuba wax emits the shine
but I am driving and the horsehair backing
flexes lighter shoulders than quick mentoring of flight

I'd like to memo you against my better judgment
pre-pay all guilt come home to you
winter alongside callous tasks rendered invisible

I'd like to limit the embodiment of embers
where they work to play through dentifrice
if that is how we're left after unnatural forms of speaking
