hold on (me)

Elizabeth Brueggemann

I see your sore, core-through ache

this pinnacle fate, stone-planted as a flag

in me snagged

pluck twinge I cannot shake

our full weight

compress you to stamps, postmarked—

dated—going out

for dinner

sway (in one breath) him him hymn

and the sink—running—sounds familiar rush

you were then

cut-through with music

prone now to

sprout four-times hands,

arc & wheeling, on-fire

lover my odd seraph

still oncoming

I twist a rustless hangnail loose

shallow pinpoint-chasm weft
