Chad Sweeney – from An Architecture

Chad Sweeney

from An Architecture


My solitude
 shaped like a city
distinct

from your solitude
shaped like a city.

   A mobile
hung in bones—

embalmed in whiskey and the hope
of danger—you

flow across with the crowd

at the urge of a flashing

hand—today

while the cherry the young
tree wears a storm

of blossom

beside the bulldozer and
wires.
