Of shelled nostalgia // a piecing

The rumble of finale // the
three tiled victory // a carving of bird //
how strange // it is // the score
// made sour // the resonant heat //
of straw // hat // roadside
tobacco // a teething // sun // Grandfather //
three legged // and listening //
to cicada song
The red telephone // has not rung //
but it has rained // this fidgeting
dawn // of contradictions // what
// has not set // with salt // nor browned //
of heat // I've not reached //
but remember // like // the walnut shelled
// time capsule // the cut //
palm // the underwater wire
// and the long journey home
