“Who Among the Best of Us”
Who among your classmates
will last past this second breathe
board a chivalrous route
give to burns the right amount of panache
the salve of the blank window stare
in dressings
who among you wrests this laurel
past the breakers
the foggy ghost arms
pulled in a ship by her teeth
who among the least of us
tired of dartboards, seal cries
the horn that separates rain from trees
and every tear a cuff link
who among the crows
pack quills for the winter
and beaks of lost sisters
who among the bird bones
breathes so precious a whispered star
who among the mazes for us
who will in feather
panic the air.
