parenthesis

my poetry
a kind of
postscript significant.

after-the-fact
parenthetical
asides, to read once
i’m finished.

posthumously pertinent
or seashelled:

right now, not
in-hand examined;
merely seen at feet,

objects which curl in
on themselves,
hold something alive.

so i, i will keep
curling.

a little experiment
of toughing it
out here on earth,

just the same.
