Late Empire. Lisa Olstein

СКАЧАТЬ of my spine? Ham and

      cheese on a hillock where before us

      Mohawks and mountain lions

      and countless freshmen and maybe

      a few freedmen once sled. Some

      soggy children, a lost Spiritualist

      or two, late to the orgy, their donkey

      having taken a wrong turn early on,

      but you know what they say about

      all paths winding up the same hill.

      Overcomplicated, the hooks and latches

      on this brassiere, by which I mean

      embrace. Beloved nobodies, deranged

      neighbors, doppelgängers every one,

      who among us is willing to look

      with proper awe at the gossamer fawn

      newly pushed from its flesh palace

      into the wrong season’s brisk air?

      Snowflake, turn out that blue light.

      Somehow we’ve ended up in the yard

      again counting turkeys by hindsight.

      Saintly, they’ll be martyred beneath

      the paling sun. Come on, we whisper

      to the near disappeared. Come on,

      come out, come up. Okay then, we say,

      go on, some boats are made for one.

      THE MESSENGERS COME WHEN YOU ARE SITTING AT THE TABLE

      The heart of the head-cage rattles.

      The front windows. The door.

      Mean-drunk pilot, enraged

      backseat driver, coked-out conductor

      speeding through signals meant for

      lesser trains, how can I help you,

      what have you come here for?

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
