Note / Envoy

Zach Savich

Note

To say it and it won’t become information

Fruit sour before ripening, then sour and ripe

*

Anything starts in medias res if you say it

Leaving your house, even the cut grass smelled of basil
           

 

Envoy

I didn’t get around to mailing
The book so read it myself again 

In sufficient snow
The widest street becomes a one-lane road
What will I miss last

So open the window to let in rain
It spares the river

The antidote to the placebo is
You take it
