I have barred the gates
of my quiet estates
Installed fences
Reinforced defenses
Scattered mines
Posted signs
Stay out
Keep out
Perhaps I’ve mistaken you for a reader
or an english speaker
Because you still knock
at one o’ clock
or barge in
at two fifteen
pushing your way in
to weep
to sleep
to keep your bed empty
your room happily
-alone
Because it can’t handle your own
endless drone
When will you learn?
When will you break that urn
you wear as a face?
When will you learn
space won’t change your shadow’s place?
