how
the oak ward

through terminal
windows
without logos

brother

feet walking away
Two

so
_ far
angel
_ night-blue
giro-phar
_ your star
is
a light
_ lightly here
a light thing
_ to bear –
a way
Three
man seeks terminal
illness for
brief but
arduous journey
_ must like people
_ must have own transport
_ staying power
_ clean license
