All In (domestic rocking chairs)

before the barking stalls climbing walls
before the punitive wire cable savages
singing of accumulative wealth in haste
and canons foggy in season and hell

there comes masks and brigades’s fortune
strumming curtain-lectures smiling fall
never engrossed with tired chords absent
birds witness every conversation on land

the discipline of token regression and plain
born to mortified parents tossing plates
spinning their regrets into yours and hers
dare they know a lonely place for retreat

dare might hold see-saw oceans down
told on high where cliffs drown tides
cattle sniff-out the sunken bodies below
sabermetrics of palm verses die in wine
still coming home for a spell like triumph
still arduous spymasters, home in assurance
