They keep Super 8’s they keep letters they keep

the peace They keep the walk along the coast

the point of the sun the boot camp

of evening They keep primers and old notes and math

They keep epaulettes and then they keep

the rain They keep the books they keep hotels

their names whole fires They keep that terrace

by the sea They keep one thousand waving

They keep you in mind They keep the mornings

the machines Julian They keep the eighth

of powder They keep the dresser

on which it sits They keep telephoning they

keep hanging up They keep going off

They keep asking how can you not forgive
