37 - Passing

Footbridge west, in wire sheath shooing suicides to privater places
The air is close in agreement — go!
Souls of bleached stars transmigrate earthward as
Fools gold flecks of east hill homes electric test the resistance of viscous night.

Lawnfronts studded with grenade-weight cones
The rot bombs of spendthrift flora, I heft
A good palm-feel and sap-swell
To launch them, plant air in the sedentary fog.

Posters all-over-plastered in town tell me
Find your inner light!

There are so few places, any more.
I catch an errant breath of redwood pine
But it diminishes, like a teacher.
