Cathedral of the In-Between

Oak
trees know all about asphyxia but nothing about death
Flowers
know all about withering but nothing about resurrection
The sun
knows all about warmth but nothing about love
The moon knows all
about night but nothing about passion
And I leave again knowing
nothing as alone as at birth
~Mykyta Ryzhykh
During the plague
Еveryone

~Mykyta Ryzhykh
No MFA
I have never taught a poetry class.
I tried to be a poetry teacher but I failed.
I am still failing.
There
is nothing to learn here.

Captain Vibrato
You sailed on ships of light
out beyond our wisps of stars.
Sent us postcards
filled with trembling trees
and all your mad fragility
that pled: wish you were here.
They
were postmarked Immortality.

You
fall
out
and crawl over
and climb up
into
you.

it is all rotten
but some of it
wears
perfume

flesh and metal try to occupy a single point

nobody wants a lecture on
the distance between oxygen molecules

the Yang side of the man
who
doesn't want to talk about it

the singer talked about the missing verse
in
the song he was about to sing
~Patrick Sweeney
he
used to say 'it will all go on the next day without me' and it did

militarization...
tell me again,
how
does a maple leaf ignite
