recall them to life
on Día de los Muertos
with tears, songs, sweet bread

Shuffle the papers, declare
to the uniform your reason.

rhythmic thump of feet
on wood slats, death's head puppets
wobble crazily

steel gateways arching above,
memory fibers sculpting

why did we leave, wanderers
trailing dust, sand, rocks
clinging haphazardly to

Tuesday, October 21, 2008

22

Motion, stillness, illusion--
Which is it? Are we here? There?

looking in plain view
passenger aisles row
after row, no exit

breath steams window art, daisies
jut yellow, white, exhausted

down stairs to platform
electric oil smell
noses pressed to glass

with phrases on displays
we crane our necks to read

dun rock, sparkly white
quartz spiderwebs, no diamonds.
true gold flakes entwined

Lift the lantern: in glinting
shards the light shows diamonds.

caves below the crust
salted with light, pepper pitched
coal scattered, shovels

uprooted, train tracks speed through
narrow tunnels: go go go

Telescope focus,
Microscopic visionary--
Earth promise, ants, trees...

no, there is one who sees, her
eye enlarged, watching land pass

gyros and lemon
cacophony of taxis
leaves fall, unnoticed
