correlation
of dizzy
dive light and
images fade
at the end
of divine
capital —
like a life
preserver
enamoured
concrete
vile fawn
at the
bottom
of file
architecture like
rainbows
demand it’s okay
not to pose
here among
posy
cardinals
never stop
look in the mirror
it’s time
to talk
politics
i’ve lived long enough to see phaeolus schweinitzii
chewing the lap of this jersey pine on a walk
with my family during our first pandemic
to call us moist and poorly protected
would be rude but true nevermind
what i haven’t got is dirty hands and god
damnit if i know how to be selfless
among all these bottle caps and tarot cards
the bravado emptiness embitters inflames thickens
the grey launch of memory plunges seven
thousand feet into the lap of an idol
hard at work in the dry grass
the irony of course remains
we are alone leaning back in chinese
textiled seats without understanding
without compassion without hideous
perspective until we are alone photograph
-ing ourselves some distance from another drink.
