4 – Bobby Fisher

Downtown roses bloom as July summers every mile.

Don’t ask if you can’t close a door without a slam.

Destroyed violets uptown like a sinner steps on my grass 

For the gardner. Don’t say if you can’t cure reasons from love. 

His abbey burns, bells the ringtone of one’s demise 

If you can’t shoot the pawn that pins the queen.

Fetch my eyes hurling this century’s targets 

On clocks and calendars so slow they catch my drift.

I’m so much gone if you can tell.

In a mile in a town bloom roses 

That you could hatch before the game.

This is the end, he never knew where it began

on a couch or a chair, through precision or profusion.

closing the hutch heaven turns to hell,

don’t ask, I wouldn’t tell.
