Long Time Disabled

Book Cover of "Only Bread, Only Light" by Steve Kuusisto

 

It rains in the apple trees

Where three crows land

In a dome of blossoms—

I watch with my clear head

The way blind people do

Feathers wet leaves

Bird’s feet

Scratching boughs

I like the one who doesn’t speak

She’s perfect—

The unlit candle in a church

Green sorrow

Is a waste

Do not seek comfort

From others; nor music

Breathe against a window

Write your name
