Ray Malone
A verse
turning to it, day in, day
out, the heart held to the space,
the white, iteration of emptiness,
dead poets in the corners
of cafes, songs
stirring in the depths of
endless cups,
to whom to address it,
whose ear urgent too
to hear,
damn question,
insensible answer,
turning to it, time and again,
such freight found in the path,
the flower unnoticed,
brought to the buttonhole
of a passer-by
