Almost-Died Life: #3
At ten
the reversing drunk
Two steps early
Almost-Died Life: #3
At ten
the reversing drunk
Two steps early
Almost-Died Life: #2
At six
gumball choking
Father’s backslap
Almost-Died Life: #1
At birth
umbilical choke-hold
Doctor unlooping
Up down along
Who decides
these angles?
Can you walk the
wrong way along
a one-way street?
Arriving at the bakery
for the last sourdough
A little burnt it is
This gathering-in of trees
a perspective illusion
They’re streets apart
Crispy cool morning
days before Spring
Sun led petal-thaw
