-after David Bromige
How have we come
home & landed
Palms up & out to say
how we fail to be astonished
how readers lost in mud
seek what's not held down
How hostility
story boarded for stimulation
unopened at house of doors
How Carl’s was not a house at all
How blunt precision
Pickup smashing pickup
Tree under tree
at newly laid blacktop
How shaman is aware
