dairy aisle in blue


After “Droning Texan refrigerators” recorded by Conor Walke and hosted by Cities and Memory

the drone hums in sapphire &


i reach
tentative fingers
towards
milk cartons
wrapped
in frigid air & i

push a cart through
azure aisles & fill it
with chilly essentials



until
teeming
with the
material


alternate anticapitalist universe in which my lover and i move to tierra del fuego


After “Woodpeckers in Tierra del Fuego” recorded by Mark Wilden and hosted by Cities and Memory

my love loves the south


through my hair & like
of mediterranean sea
like a woodpecker
a tree with but its


standing but i don’t

atlantic
like i love
his hands
i dream
respose &
desiccates
beak &
i don’t care
where we’re
want to stand
alone
anymore

deciduous song


After “Reaction to Photograph No 40” recorded by Lee Clift and hosted by Cities and Memory

forest pulses through screen door &
sends cicadas wailing skyward & thwacks
the funky drum for each distant beat
of thunder & settles

into a humming
