New Year New You

A freefall into a cupboard full

Of metal coat hangers

As collarbones

As elbows bare as bones the

Spare branches of whitened

• Birches
• A burden
• A foghorn
• The untaken path
• An unhappy wife
• Open firs
• Months as a moon
• The awful bone bare days

• White flags
• New teeth
• The new Terrible Terrible
• The whitewashed burden
• The last ever Mother
• They are running out

• On the earth
• Into the sea
• Ashes in flashes
• Finger joints
• An eyelash
• One broken wheel
• A space in your contacts

• A never resolved space
• A lack of love
• Lack of input
• Lack of action
• A desire
• The Never-achieved

• Drumroll
• Tin foil
• A discarded status
• Deletion
• Backwards living
• Granulation
• Ghosting
