THREE POEMS

 

 

The Geophagy of the Imagination

 

Love the craft ear is heir to. A mellow chthonic thud
resonates through it, subsonic & mesmerizing. Embellished
by a suggestion of names millennia bear in us through the common
feelings of panic, which is a kind of language
autism; a life in lapine-like emergency. Rabbits
survive it.

So do men. Here's the trick:

Eat the earth.
Eat the earth until packed in like XPC you rise up through it.

“Casketed in song.”
