Echo starts but never
stops
like a window broken with
pavement
outstretched beneath the tree
trying
to outsmart unsuccessfully the capricious
whims
of unintended consequence
did
you see the way the town is open now to
view
now that none of the buildings are
left
pictures strewn homeless uninhabited
drift
can’t get there from here there is
nowhere
used to be things seemed to be just
settled
a little more permanent now all that’s
gone
