Release Poem by William Stobb

not a phase January thinking
broke me dog next door out for a pee
someone's little laugh
after she's shown living things once thinking
worms in wood old words splinter
winter into spring popular piano music
and a warm front from Alberta
under the brewery towers
the formerly broken
marquis sparkles that open flame
in the industrial park so not eternal
has a name release
weird sound of the day ice dam
explodes the river into flow
