wood screw #8 x 2″ /
that’s the thing /
the thing is in all ways the thing /
little can be done to change that /
all the ascending flights barely nudge it /
it’s there resting in the long grass /
it’s there sinking to the floor of the harbour /
it’s there circling our planet /
in the first tug of gravity /
the thing bends down the years of christmas cards /
the thing tripped the feet /
as they came down from the mount /
the thing rests in our veins /
inching towards that heart felt object
