this season is full of nothing
& nothing is as heavy
torrents obscure white dashes
wilderness bisected so
we could connect to we
on either side new species
brook along babeling
canticle nothing
chorale nothing
anthem nothing
Father Christmas bursts through cokeflame
singed & sooted to deliver his verdicts
incandescent yet another year
we beg: coal, coal
yesterday’s forest afire
breath it in breath it out
smoglike greyness
letter nothing
phoneme nothing
pronoun nothing
