I row with the wind in my apple-wood skin, maw on crow’s dust and raw turnips. What feeds on want behind the masks of houses?
A year of rain in an hour. Then dawn. On the Quikcrete patio a leaden mirror.
On Sundays we composed our own music.
Tapped a nickel against a mailbox, pounded the wall with the heel of our palms, and sought a demo-type sound.
Strange word for so simple a thing as a flat felt hat.
Don’t forget your bear-ay, my mother’d say, and I thought it
You nicked me now give me back, un-wrinkled.
Summering in Pennsylvania and wintering in Florida would give me two addresses.
Making a pilgrimage to Albuquerque to give thanks I cheated heart surgery of a bad outcome only last month,
On a road leading to where I used to live, thoughts go back to friends who would visit, most now are in places quite exquisite,
I remember there was a big bridge with a toll, and for once I had change. The river was a shadow of itself below
A cartoon rider on a horse so real it shits and stalls and rears against the rider it’s been saddled with in this narrative.
