mud slides
south or north
coast lines
up such damage un
control
No one can impugn
what has always been
my relation to truth.
& no one does
watch the mud
the slide of
animosity
a relation
in nature
killing some
times

The poet is ecstatic, having dreamt of this visit for weeks.
He takes Erato’s face, dribbling and wild, between his hands
and kisses her gently as if she were a runaway teenager.
