James Diaz writes



The Way We Fail, The Way We Fall

To cut you off
at the pass
a bramble in every
detail

how the light
fails to show
against the chromatic bruise
that out-land
where the wild in you
shrieks
and where you've been
is written all over your face

you can't go home
but you can 
walk the streets
for years
no one bothers 
with names there

kindness is like a foreign country
everyone's passport seems to be missing.
