(source: “Morning Hymn”, 2003.)

In the bedridden
blue I kiss your wrists,
mend the cuts 
of draped windows
on the fourteenth floor.
Modelled like canvas, 
no light shed.

For a knife 
in the world to cure 
dawn’s aging,
you’d crawl the tick tock
of each clockface.
Make scars, maybe sins 
of the red.
