Andrew Wessels

 

 

*

 

spun along the wall a row books eyed perched

 

*

 

let me find     your words faint

 

*

 

some thing we hear elsewhere now offers

 

*

 

last man standing paint blue above cold

 

*

 

talk out of arms legs red shirts

 

*

 

sound of water     come closer sheer light

 

*

 

outside the window activity spun from wires twists of fingers

 

*
