Nearby Like Distance

I know I've been called when I'm coming for the
liquid chords of the loon to get up early to voters
working the coalition of birds dismissed for the mountains

between hunting jackets for rationalists
and finding them interests them
within the allegory drifts out of novels into the campaign

raining word as a trapped society from some black film
and I know when I'm struggling and when I gamble one day
after a long time is my version of what might be coming back
