Think of our courts and cunning missing bail. 
Everything you expect waiting now in wistful   
 
landscapes, hum-vacuumed.  
What’s the worst that can happen?  
Um, ok, yes, I bet. Open the curtains.  
And de-peopled points trip up our not speaking for months  
(critical moments you thought),  
 
  finding my direction as I thought of you —  
So it never happened.
