from SORROW ARROW
At the airport bar people are drinking clear drinks
You are the opposite of drunk
You have some cashews
The girl in gray shoes orders another drink
You’re in love in your chair
Tethered so hard you make a groove in the landscape
You allow the god bird to gift you
You let the bird set fire, wetly flaming
Now the song on the radio is one from childhood
Something comes particle by particle through the air
Glowing curve of a small worm
Worm tail without a shell
You seek constantly the dying sticks of her body
You are breathing in your chair
A life without
Bathing in mustard seeds
The taped eyeglasses of sadness
The backyard birdbath
Moonlight on your backs
The light not convincing you of anything
The bartender is dreaming
Learning her way out of the seaweed cave
Later you’ll say her name
Walk with her to the store
To buy cilantro
