2 poems by Adam Day


The Neighborhood

Negotiating encounters

 of difference, hemmed in

among lungwort

and drone glow,

Doughboy shot

the wrong

cop. Tomorrow’s

dew will be frost

trying to forget

it was founded

on a web of breath.

Shelter II

      After Raúl Zurita

My fingers

touch yours

because if I

touch you

and you 

touch me

perhaps 

not everything

is lost.
