      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Running I can never see too far
Above my head</p>

<p>I want to sing my Expensive wooden box, lessons
Hours and years
away
To scat and pluck and speak
That ostinato, pizzicato</p>

<p>Creatively
Composing snatches of
Little twisting
melodies
without stopping to see
If originality grants its colophon</p>

<p>I want to stoke a mellifluous violence
Between us</p>

<p>11/30/24</p>
