Colleen Collins
Dark-mantled.
Advancing; trim.
Unlinked; each isled but
    tandemned, and wick-ed.




the heart in my hand is not
her heart
it is a boar’s heart
she lives
(I let her go)
the boar is dead
tusks up
in the woods.




Signal as noise.
Indistinct.
An irretrievable ground /
    a figure in sit.
