Grey melody.
Earth and sky sing in you
And are Spring.
– Peter Hille (1854-1904)

Graue Melodie.
In dir singen Erde und Himmel
Und sind Frühling.

You do ignite
You do ignite that
rotten side of me – now please
be gone, old fart – depart!
rotten side of me – now please
be gone, old fart – depart!

Written around depart, ignite, rotten from 3WW and a slightly failed haiku.

NYC
redeeming snowy rooftops
upper east side manhattan
looking toward sunrise
12th floor blinking red for planes
and below the neighbor's hillocked roof garden
at night the jewelry of tiny glowing rectangles
infinite humans in that flying brick
the chirping of a small bird
a siren far then near then far
the rush of tires
a horn
