By Gabriel Rosenstock

all i know is this

the cello has fallen still

and all is quiet:

       the music of what is not

       ah, what strange music that is

Gabriel Rosenstock


*


alone with his thoughts

one thought flowering among weeds

quickly vanishes

              a thought that may yet return

              on the day his hair turns grey

Gabriel Rosenstock

day of leaving

I put our moon

in my backpack

rock bottom love is a river

again today ignoring the lump

I only like the idea of strawberries

in a room alone rooting for the underdog
