Grass Roof


Blue-eye Seminole rolling in

On the wake of a wave of 

Rain streaks fire claws

Coming right up 44

According to radar


This chickee is a

Tiny factory

Vittles and triggers

Chicken fingers

Right for the weather


He and his pack pull up

Shedding prairie dust

All their fish weights

A framed print of an

Old general in a wig




[Named for a medicine song]

return to a high-drama lifestyle


it's been a minute

but it's like the 

drama never left

now again i feel

life and the hope

when one casts

the chaotic die

when one puts

possible

outcomes in 

a box, shakes

like crazy

while praying

with rattlesnakes

draped from one's

arms and neck

drenched with sweat

involuntary prayer

panic and fear

ecstasy

possibility

time can move

story can end

Gods transmogrify

They wanted me big and easy

But easy to be big it's not

It's easy to ignore complications

As immense as mine


Designed as strong, prolific

Prolific of what you now

Ask, strong how? 

Strong of odor and corrosion


Life adapts to dangers

Sunshine once was lethal

Compliance trumps resistance

Gods transmogrify

stick-to-itiveness


tired lazy afraid

armed ready reluctant

resigned ready resistant

today hour now

moment opportunity vacuum

thinking sitting breathing

shallow tentative quiet

wait listen ready

static void orphan

space time energy

will infinity ready

stasis decay fertilization

temporal infinity power

uncomprehending

nonhuman

stick-to-itiveness
