Subsumed; June celebration
By Jeremy Balius

After Peter Upward
out here being
speaks of making
now as afterward
or at least another
across a landscape
defined by absence
not defined, but
within possibility
casually subsumed
codetta: I say looks like
we started something
we couldn’t finish
amid frozen gesture
hoarse, but hopeful
Nathan turns, saying
here comes the tension
unravelling
coda: who can say
what will come next
if at all
