Drift

Richard King Perkins II

A stand of blue spruce humbles a patch of Massachusetts—
bucolic fetish in the hands of dire men, anonymous as
any frozen duck pond or dull wind lost to crystallized
hills.

I feel the curve and spin of the world and the light of
insult shining
over our heads. Torpid thoughts astound. On frosted glass, I
scratch
out a happy face across the silhouette of a winter-berry
sun.

In faintest hours, the tilt of night constricts all in its
pale and
creatures emerge to scratch upon a familiar fife and chime
shroud.
Tomorrow, I will make sensible clothing for us both.
