Mizu

Comfort_____money spent.
"Give me."

By the stopped watch
__________hairline fracture in crystal
a silhouette burnt into brick
vague shape hunched
_____arms raised.

Black steel bent against gray
__________rain on ribs, rivets.

Parching thirst, a curse
_____on the men who dealt death
_____on those to whom they dealt it.

In the language babies speak to mothers.

______Vermillion, gold
pink, white
______sway in the breeze:
chain of paper cranes.

Alms begged over the squeal
and rumble of intercounty trains.
