between streetlights & rain, the street
flickers stars.

Stuart Ross reads a draft of a poem
about the High Level Bridge. along I-beams,

water flows

out from where it should not. reads his poem
& his notebook is small, written pencil.

Mary Magdalene performed miracles
that perhaps only Jesus knew,

if either of them existed.
there are stories that shift & evolve,

& eventually outlive us, & change
as those who would tell.

on the most beautiful young person reality show
or whatever it is the bar watches, they already warned

some of them will not last through the day.

I am undone, the permission
to hammer out glass.

if I am blue you are red
& we perfectly paired as twin suns.
