From Pause the Document, which will be published this month by Nightboat Books.

It hailed golf balls
back in June.

Notebook got nicked,
got soaked.

What month is it.

She speaks
of grief so gracefully
you hold on to her words
lest you miss
its gnawing at you too.

Daily broadcasts
of an unimaginable assortment
of newly weaponized
subjects.

Fragments of him
were residue. Counter-
texts..

I am writing in the dark
and that is what the noise is about.
