Make Full Use of What Happens to You

In the face of broken
build a tower of breath
In the eye of deceit
carve a hive of light
In the rumble of regret
fashion a new net
In the oracular gut
leaven what’s left
In the fall of grief, harvest
winter wheat
In the infested wound, bring leeches
to swoon
In the empty bed, writhe
a pelvic bone
In the stung heart, harrow
a new song
In Fortuna’s backswing
let fallow fill wings
