The wet-paint sign stays behind
lets you have the bench to yourself
watch how the battlefield standing by

becomes a hillside with the dead
at attention, still in formation
waiting for the command

you drink from its shadow
the way this make-shift raft
sticks to the ground as the silence

filling your mouth with a sea
to let it all take place
where you have taken a seat, sit

trying to remember how to talk
to look between these old boards
for rain or no rain.
