      "i am lost to the world"

"Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen" —Friedrich Rückert

   capsules mesh
in the gray morning
   stern focus
staggers aimward
i am lost to the world

   as prices
tremble like drops
   of leaf dew
& shelfvoid looms
i am lost to the world

   worn habits
& hurt scribble
   solve nothing
that needs fixing
i am lost to the world

   mathoms heaped
in this rent house
   decades' work
to see no sun
i am lost to the world

   lifeline wire
a cloud threaded
   as wink ghosts
sometimes gaslight
i am lost to the world

   for a while
we would wander
   coffeehouse
& antique mall
i am lost to the world

   robots take
word after word
   —as i watch—
with rude vigor
i am lost to the world

   what remains
this culdesac
   two rabbits
   sometimes ducks
visit the pool
i am lost to the world
