“Merleau-Ponty by G.C. Waldrep

acts of description

inspiral,

wind’s vivid angle

against the eave’s

blade, dulled

an orchard knife

the grasp remembers

as praise

offered to distant

fathers, strengths

pluck

the fruit of the wind

test its nave

each tiny house

anent the big house

faith built

surrounded by
