Meg Hurtado

NEITHER I, NOR ANY OF MY WOES

           For James Turrell and Larissa Greer

Neither I, nor any of my woes,

will have truck with your deliverables.

As a collective, we oppose the darkening of the aura.

As a family, we refuse all systems of reproach.

I think I speak for all of us when I say:

Lose your lyric self in some eternally ill-lit area code,

some solipsistic tangle of caves known only to each other,

 or Forever21.
