AIR
THERE’S SOMETHING IN THE AIR
see bridget bardot in the video: there’s something
in the air see how there is a shining light about her
eyes her time in the sun you can taste the fecundity
bridget’s immortality now bag-ladyish animal activist
my time in the sun? yours? maybe it hasn’t begun!
the last person who said i am not hopeful knows not
of the enantiodromia years in the making what was
underneath is on top what was on top is underneath
turning the earth with a spade & a parade of horses+blue
dinosaurs+dodo eggs pop out of your father’s grave my
cousin worries about the water-table +what it will do to her
mother’s bones i was painstakingly positive i said: that’s
where we’re supposed to go become earth again go home
her mother-in-law had spoken of decomposition because she
was a cruel woman sometimes the earth is hard and caked over
in such cases there can be no turning of the soil rendering the
bitter mortal not hobo

Spring 2015 and every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band
