Wool Socks

We hoped for peace
but no good has come.
For healing,
but there is only terror.
For consolation,
but there is only science.
For persistence…
What to make
of the hushed laughs and whispers?
What to make
of the wool socks and early snow?
the scratching branches on the windows?
It seems
there is only forgetting,
and being forgotten.

Phenomena
05:11

Maybe
I spend too much time thinking about telluric phenomena:
low clouds over the lake,
bent aspens,
rotten stumps,
uprooted pines,
snowpack depth,
exact altitudes,
mountain ranges,
towering cumuli,
mesquite black evenings,
balsamic hills and hollows;
The whole murderous mass
of the continent beneath our feet.

“It was a relationship of no particular importance”
was how they described our first collision.
I sleep on the couch, wake at 4 am,
the headache making its way from my eyes to my jawbone.
Everything rushes at me
in a bright, multiphonic hiss.
You were with me again:
your breath on my ear, your quiet laugh,
your bony hips,
and those moles you were so embarrassed of;
your scent of rosemary honey.
Stay, my love, stay;
at least in dreams.
My rhododendron,
my ponderosa pine,
my blood orange,
my silver vessel lost at sea.

Night

[: Your body close to mine…
and the wet wind blows. :]
The night roams the broken earth,
the living envy the dead,
and on and on and on it goes…

Etain

Voici un temps de guerre
et de terre sèche.
Soutenez-moi de pain
et de pommes,
tapissez-moi de cresson
et de chèvrefeuille.
Que la brise se lève
doucement
à l’image
de la légèreté
de ta présence.
Ça me fait du bien.
Dans l’air de la nuit,
soutenez-moi d’éclairs,
et de tonnerre.
Le matin, de soleil d’étain
en éclats sur la surface de l’eau,
paupières fermées.
Ça me fait du bien,
ça me fait du bien,
car je suis
malade d’amour.
Inconditionnellement.

Why are we not together
03:48
|
|
||
|
Why are we not together?
And who can promise that returning to each other
is like returning in breath
that which we take from the air?
And why am I pining
when you will not surrender
to me,
nor I to you?

Terre noire
05:22
|
|
||
|
La terre noire,
un ciel voilé,
la saison épuisée.
Soupirs d’adieu.
La chaleur rayonnante
de ton corps,
tes lèvres sur ma nuque,
comme le souffle
d’un fantôme.
La terre noire,
un ciel d’ardoise,
le parfum
de sapins baumiers.

The unattainable world
04:41
|
|
||
|
You were
my incense, my love, my weapons of war,
my final disaster.
A paradise of pomegranates, fruits of the orchard,
spikenard and saffron, sweet cane and cinnamon,
eucalyptus and aloe.
You were
my rose without thorns,
my cypress,
my muscat grape,
the rain that falls on the dark soil.
You were,
my dear,
the unattainable world.

Blues
02:54
|
|
||
|
This is love:
the stars without you; skin glistening,
we search out cooler parts
of the sheets.
June bug barking dog fox-trot.
Mid-July cicada buzz
dancing oceanic, crashing-wave
blues.
