After Almost

stacks and stacks
pleasant mostly
but only of course

missing, o missing
violently needed
look back i suppose

deaf, blind, dillusional
wine trickling from brown eyes
blue, to thin the air
curled up there

soft pressure
mistake a fissure
backwards still,
and glazing over
red rover red rover

heavy voices
low-flying choices
arrows puncture,
condescending rover
why did you come over?
