true grit is a fantasy

in the poet’s dream
the knives are
dull
and the walls are
silent
the clock ticks
backward
and the glass is never
empty

found living
found dead

three periods and
punctuation to a pause
suddenly surrounded by
absent emotion
and reaching for
remote connections
the sun forgives
almost any
wound
