CALIFORNY
THE NAKED FEET OF THE DEAD PHOSPHORESCENT IN CALIFORNY
Barack was on tv late last night He confirmed
what we all imagined: urban sprawl terrorism
is embedded in the heartland +won’t be ferreted
out by boots on the ground Obama explained we
must stop selling weapons to folks on the no fly list
It’s insane
And at the edge of the abyss this business of hope festers
Tashfeen Malik’s heart dried+blackened now Ms. Malik
radicalized mother + partner in slaughter San Bernardino
California Her 6 month old daughter will live her mother’s
gold rush dreams After foster-care in eternity

Californy a land rich in minerals in gold and silver I would say
beyond the wildest speculation (Cormac McCarthy Blood Meridian)
