1.
dawn 01:09
I first remember Red flannel Gut singing, digits plucking Spanish nylon strings Tying the beginning and end Greeting and farewell Nod to a passerby The introduction to song In a mint green trailer Swallowed by the New Mexican desert A fragment of a fragment
2.
bereft 00:46
Dirt and cactus and mesquite Hold you In arid recollection We uprooted Like weeds Abandoned, an empty parent Rotted on the vine
3.
sepia 01:25
Polaroids reveal my father Childless, brown, uncanny Eyes smile and squint In the Santa Fe sun Wide open Collar and leisure suit bake A plump torso breathes Posthumous, arid afternoons Preserved in amber tint
4.
Hostile animal And care giver crocodile Will I be like you Mother with hatchlings safely In your jaws
5.
A whole half is rusted Shut and stunted A tree in a flower vase Petrified Obsidian in opacity Feathery in distraction A grenade in contemplation A whole half cowering Yet leaping and bursting Circumnavigating again and again The coward that I am
6.
maiden name 01:19
I liked the ring of my Jewish name At the time I reasoned Spanish roots were too heavy I weeded what I could At the Manhattan County Clerk The tiny midtown newspaper office The DMV Re-filed without the hyphen I simplified myself For a twisted sense Of belonging to myself And now I am more lost than ever In a garden half tilled Wild desert marigolds perennially rise Forlorn yet ablaze Beaming my farce over the trees
7.
This ache is so monotonous Like a background hum An aging air conditioner I can’t locate Buzzing perpetually A readied amygdala To unlearn every mundane trauma Must I still be me To hold you?
8.
serotonin 00:57
The fuck do I do About this body Feeling ever more It’s not my own Brain startled by mirrors I look down Away is never close enough Here is the man I don’t recognize anymore Now that I don’t sleep I’ll try to always tuck you in My child
9.
promenade 00:47
10.
Who made me I can hardly answer half
11.
excavate 00:40
The front door gapes off its hinges Yelling my debris Over an acre of dust I improvised you A kaleidoscope of detritus
12.
din 01:13
Western winds Coarse in a dust storm Smooth and obscure My lost topography Adobe mazes and sage brush A dirty white Ford Festiva Among barren orange vistas Where I once waddled away East is all that fits In a hippocampus painting Without composition Greys, and greens, and yellows Convulsions quiet as the gale’s death
13.
echolocation 01:31
My veneer holds Like buckling ceiling bending A smile weighing three decades A lifetime to cultivate a regimen With excuses in excess ignored Birthday cards with ballpoint pen doodles Guitars, primitive and honest Supplements to the few words I remember audibly, mostly remotely Relaxed inflections reminding me I haven’t crumbled
14.
