( me / via )

Dancers after Dark.

& i alone · am left telling
scant trace of · worlds gone
what Google knows · treacherous tides
else sweep · resist-worn

dead to me · who never met
saw before · on a white wall
now they keep · who never kept
while you still lived · & me neither

the swarm seething · makes the only sound
our ears hear · or our legs rather
& child of a friend · picked you out
to write about · & i got asked

so Sean Earley · i must have seen
on a white wall · forthwith forgot
my little bit add · you remain then
as the season yields · you never wore
