The sign reads: Deposit here.
But what to leave, horseshoes
Or tweezers?

My past is full
Of sparks and magnets.
My future pulls
On stark recognizance.

Should I give
And be with stormed lights,
Or should I take
And plunge into the dark night?

I’ve sliced and diced my misery twice,
But still I find the left, the right,
Belong in motion (cast off devotion),
In present tense, where I, full-bodied, repent,
Repent.

(Deposit here?
I shall, I fear.)
