Second Notification

 

 
You could be in the ward:       you could be in the morgue:
you could be on the same        page with death.        
       Sounds & furious stars rolling overhead spilling with apple-thunder.
We haven’t heard.
But we’re second notification.

If the broken man caught you,
you forgot your promise
to cling to the brass bedpost in extremity.

First will be brother, beloved, doctors 
friends
frost telling loss to the garden in syllables lost in translation.
