The Long Goodbye

Her hair pinned up in a bun
picture it

(an angel whose arms had been chopped off
at the spine

surrendered a smile
its firewood abandoned on a hill)

she did not notice
the ships of grass

how they fought the wind
how the wind took pleasure in stride

parallel lines seaports
in all honesty I can not back out

yet my fingers so modest
bend to speak
