Gold Watch
No consolation to
Be remembered I
Know / to be
Divorced from am
Or are / verbs
Have lost their
Tenses you need
Not learn them
Or wear watches
(“It’s about time,”
Eddie Vedder says
Of Trump’s $100K
Bling) to see
Time that cannot
Be seen except
In retrospect memory
Invisible fog unless
Developed on leaves
But we yank
Them off branches
Wood and water
Water and wood
Lake sodden with
Houses timber animals
Roofs / who protects
Us now without
Your presence / friends
Orphans / you who
Were drawn to
Underdogs doggedly watch
From heaven’s keyhole
Return to child’s
Images for what
Cannot be seen
As ascension (the
-c in Italian
Sounds as -ch)
Like Chimney Rock
That floats in
Lake Lure no
Allure to wreckage
Someone’s uncle is
Missing someone’s child
Is missing someone’s
Missing as you
Are: there, presence.
