WASTELAND
WASTELAND O SUBURBIA
down in the ravine an empty giant’s cabin
he walked across the americas to winter in
miami beach family ghosts sitting in the trees
family dreams ford the muddy stream smells
like prehistory
duck+chicks scatter as you run wildchild+mad
to catch feathered friends our 2 fathers + 1 mother
fertilize flowers+seeds in a grassy field nearby
it’s 2015 ravine with bulldozers adult children
of eden-dwelling family inch closer to eternity
once-girl in a wading pool lightening in the sky
certain she can fly
so is it a circle or a straight line?
