Heart Failure
You look for improvement.
You look for�you confidently expect improvement.
In the good way of the patient, the careful
farmers of vines, fruits, seeds for milling.
The sheeting you�ve tacked, raised, over the young rows
when storms were predicted;
the stakes, braces and wraps you�ve tied;
the sprays repellent applied, the granules nutritious ladled.
Keeping at hope like a puzzle of numbers or knots:
Men will change.
You watch the chimney.
You join the crowds watching the chimney.
You descry through the gray puff-muddle streamers of pearl.
A basket of weevil carcasses tossed in the stove
resurrected�a herald:
Oh no they won�t.
