Since I have turned


Since I have turned
Again
I do not float

I do not contemplate
The flood

An hour
Or two
Receeding
Will not
Rewillow
Ravaged banks

What
Have you
Built ?

In a second story
The students
Are restless
Copying verse
Scratching feathers
Into ash

Since I have flown
Hope does not float

For in the garden
Where all love ends
Is buried faith
Overwatered
