When She Leaves April Without a Care

seasons of unexpected change and settling cement
when traditional namespaces exchange ties
delta rhythms in the clax horn borrowing control
flooding of April birds rising with natural straits
with the hillside tidings glad upon your flowing
hope for a single feather regrettable lost laughter
among the flooding of temperamental dorsal rocks
giants pushing this way and that like fabric and skin
over newberry leaves of Forsyth fires sounding chatter
like pearl outcasts at feathered weddings and toasts
and the reason for slow decisions folding harnesses
in the settled memories of Her remorseful lost touch
