cinder peace

tranquil birds don't worry about 
first causes, personal effects 
sorry to bother you, will this 
be friendship or a sunrise glance 
unconcern? disengaged? that's not 
what a deep breath and dropped shoulders 
means to the acute angle sun 
on the warmer autumn morning 
lent to money metaphors 
paid in lull, but that's denial 
threaded, lost to wrought clamors 
until we go inside
