On that train an hour ago, 
though he did not see me,
I saw a teacher I had years ago,
a proper man was he

who in the margins of my papers
wrote short sermons in a script

I glowed in exultation when I saw
his index finger pluck

lost time leaking away

collapse not into temptation
grant me/us peaceful solitude

buried in dusty debris
suffocated by icy cobwebs
burned & frozen
begging for deliverance
longing for liberation
yearning to be untangled
thunder over water
deliverance?

lost life leaking into the past

on ancient sanded dunes

My ship is sinking
The troubadour sings
The innkeeper perilously on the cliff yelps
some erratum does he detect
