cold spring song a fist, made and then un-made, your jeans pocket, worked, like some barely recollected friday night, its empty cases and mis-steps; its dark seaming; formlessness, and that knuckle you fractured years back? it's now a bone-forked fine just struck, now tuning this unseasonably jarring april day, its chill sleet music, with each exposure to the gelid air. your re-knit joint first ringing slip-shrill as a new-shattered icicle against some nerve's tin roof; an ice staccatoed treble splintering, then, simply: nothing, then, ache. deep thrumming, a slushed-marrow pang pulsing the base edge of your hand; the face of a roughly cobbled stone wall struck, over and over again, again a fist, made and then un-made.
cold spring song.

cold spring song a fist, made and then un-made, your jeans pocket, worked, like some barely recollected friday night, its empty cases and mis-steps; its dark seaming; formlessness, and that knuckle you fractured years back? it's now a bone-forked fine just struck, now tuning this unseasonably jarring april day, its chill sleet music, with each exposure to the gelid air. your re-knit joint first ringing slip-shrill as a new-shattered icicle against some nerve's tin roof; an ice staccatoed treble splintering, then, simply: nothing, then, ache. deep thrumming, a slushed-marrow pang pulsing the base edge of your hand; the face of a roughly cobbled stone wall struck, over and over again, again a fist, made and then un-made.
