Iowa Writes RUSTIN LARSON We live at the bottom of a sea of snowflakes. They fall ruled by a mathematics no one can resolve. When my brother The dawn's yarn knits itself into an evening sky. (Flowers are snowflakes If I empty the wallet of my memory, evoke the mathematics of emotion, scrape the excess mineral as he was, soldering the radio together. The smoke, the mineral encrusting the hot iron, the pure snow of sparrows, mathematics of prayer, accumulation of snowflakes night walks like a brother up from the bus stop and pauses in an urn It's the winter we learn to breathe mineral, every breath is a breath earned; not certain whether I'll see this brother again this or any other season. |
