Wound Allocation – David Davies

the removal of casualties means the closest target

You don’t always get what you want…it

The Central Problem which

from the achievement of my wishes

the tombstone of an early date, which

run on the bank and

the experience of it

everything that

to the belfry of the old village that

the biggest and most impressive structure

unleashed with fire.  New.

What

our fate, which

sunk to her boiler deck and

a vacation that we could barely afford then

now lies out

now lies out

now lies out

now lies out

now lies out

now lies out

now lies out

now lies out

now lies out

now lies out

now lies out

now lies out

now lies out

now lies out

now lies out

now lies out

there in a future, while I imagine its past

for Solution.  Removed

a new and difficult obstacle

of place

ten inches all around

of focus, inaccessible to me –

past the asteroid belt, will be in closer

under the sea

of reach

in wait for me

of the elements, in the shelter of

of our hands. The boat

in the stream

of reach.
