In Motion

A body in motion
lost in the collapsed space
inherent in breath
forward moving air
we live, trying to catch up
with a/this exhaled sweetness
thumbing those moments
like a rosary.

        ***

On Saturday morning
death resides
a hopeful friend
clasping a decade
close to the chest
the one thing to know today:
you’ll &#fb01;nd no seminal illusions
inside this barracks.
