Revelers Yawn

coddle further,
absence full,
baggage slumping,
excise all.

headfirst handshakes,
travelogue passes,
arguing crumbs
in comfortable sofas.


letters from fathers
sit along sills
of moonview shelves,
open for pencils.

swarming afghans
psalms splayed on
sidewalks, warm wood,
revelers yawn.


against
facing 
statements

are joined
flat and 
weathered

insides.
rain comes
across

settled,
fixed,
steady,
sunflowered.
