poem

 Anchor

Loneliness is the anchor

Tethering me here

To these ravaged lands 

In the epoch

Of violent storms. 

One end of the braided rope

Follows the weight of the iron

To the bottom of a deep trench

While the other is attached to no boat.

Everything in between

Accelerates         like love 

And saws through my hands
