Good-Bye Finch
When that which closes
hopes. Better to
measure. Leaner
weaves the raven
nearer the center, our
single reminder which the black bird makes
"find me, I am here" music,
crying out
"this food is not filling." Find me
time, pleasure, ocean, ever,
or pure abstraction
as if the lightness
Forget that which is
rare? ounce? blessed?
Do you know the word for
what you do not
want. Transactions take place
Always a disruption
Transactions take the place of you
-Robyn Schiff
Come hear more of Robyn Schiff and Alex Long's poetry during YAPRS last reading event for this season, December 1 at 7pm in Beaverdale Books. We hope to see you there!
