Untitled (tonight we swell)
by William Orem © 2004


tonight we swell
like bark on tree boles:
summer dark curls around
street signs, the foolish

picket fence with one rail missing, the man
standing as if strapped
to it all. a small wind

frumps & fusses
like a meddlesome aunt. sap

blows through the roots to the stems;
you fill me

the way a door

fills its frame
