Knar Gavin:APPTUS INTERRUPTUS

Up early

flirting, knucks

jambed

into

the reel.

Some hungering

line unfolding

along a

plastic

wire

haggard as a hedge

ha-ha’ing

at the edge

of the

lawn.

But the way we are rapt

now is nothing

like you

in the sun.

I was free with the nectarine

blossoms, a

tree in the world

that was

our life.

At least

it’s summer

forever

now.

Tiny fuzz-less

heads rolling

into mash.
