Poem sent abroad


forward your body's
armaments unearthed
and banished, nationless
flag-sworn entrusted
musicianship revoked
upon entry, after thirty
days learning new album's map

learn a new assurance of absence
verse trading, switch herds ghost
verified by absolutely all
sources/fold, ink requires
for revision--misspellings--
prayers to sleep--walk in
snow to the library for this
