Boxwood Brother

[Not really my thing. But I did it anyway.]



Boxwood Brother,

why won’t you

lower your eyes

for the sake

of your fists?

you breaking

breathe fixing

flashing you

cast your hands

in molten

silver, chill

in calm cold

calamity.

underneath

a plastic sextant,

on your parade

of water

creatures

and things

that float

you trouble

yes I implore

you hiding

sideways along

the secret

compartments

in your coffin,

whispering you

a lullaby
