Backlooker

Regretting ways behaved

I miss the way

It felt when you shaved

Cave warmth of your nearby hide

Farside Gallery calendar full of dates you won’t make

Gifts you won’t receive, cakes you won’t bake.


Keep accounts, lists 

Birds I’ve mounted, trysts 

Blistered fingers thumbing blisterpacks

Wrists blacked from the blick’s click blast

Hot lead lashing out, chinking his alabaster

Gun’s report massive

Toward decibels masked piggies massing

Outing scoundrels 

Drowning mountains

Youthful fountain

I have found it 

Maze of nouns 

Encased by sounds.
