First Winter Storm Valentine

The furnace farts

I fart back

we’ve eaten

too many bodies

not to approve or

disapprove of ourselves

as if your laughter proved

heaven exists at least

somewhere bodiless

beings as self-evident

systematic geology

you have to start with

the future and work

back from there

to where the past

warmth keeps happening

that sense of danger

starting to fall

almost everywhere

gray as language.
