I Who Am Longing
for God knows
what
and three other things
wonder just
how
to remove the rebar
four feet in
length
thrust from back to chest
narrowly missing lungs
heart
when careless I plunged
from the rickety scaffold
of dreams
blue skies peel
angels alight from gargantuan
cranes
descend wielding hack saws
salty smell of blood
wet concrete
hazards on site
danger of desire in the
unfinished life
