Execution
Be it a misty morningor drizzling on the night flower
Be it sunny
or foggy with scattered showers
Having now arrived at the tree
The tree now
or no tree
but a wooden pole
No
a stone wall
No
Perhaps a tree
Perhaps with the sea behind
There is a chance before they come:
day job
falling in love
opening the door
the scent of bread or
watching snow through the window
The good taste of apples becomes a wall
Grandma’s prayer mat becomes a dam
The scent of pomegranates becomes a roadblock
to this hurried screech of lead rushing forward
