Missing in Action
D
Pruience is clear of the cloy?
Clinically
free of the mess?
The stick-
Iness?
PTSD
DSMIV 301.89 Post-
Traumatic stress disorder
Prudery rises
above lone
And pure, free of the weighty mass-
Ive gathering of jagged grav-
Ity.
Kith in the bone, but then ragged
Pieces, acts that don't fit quite right
Into one systemically paradigmatic
jargon of those attaching angels.
No ties in yellow cummerbunds or
trousers in clouds ribbon free in the
breeze.
An unobtainable balloons out.
The
curve of my mind loops back.
