getting grounded, 2012
Montauk
Hop, hop
the kitty stops.
stares wide,
then closed,
off it goes.
What do you eat?
You live on the beach!
Perhaps he finds clams when he digs to go poop
It is hot
all we want is to cool off
we scuttle across the heated pavement
the smell of asphalt rising,
heavy through air as the trees breathe it into
a pleasant smell of summer
.
The kettle’s whistle turns to a scream
all I want is to stay warm
I pull up my long underwear over thick grey socks
open the door, walk from my thoughts
into the present
Jakob, Millie and Skoki
All part of my family,
All have good bellies!
Taking lessons from mom and dad for moving to a smaller island
.
I grew up with chickens
I love chickens
l eat chicken
I am unable to kill a chicken
I am very disconnected from my reality
Next summer,
I will honor and respect you my love,
Chicken.
Apology
.
I dream alot
perhaps too much.
I dream and dream
of such and such
and then I dream
when I’m awake,
do silly things
by silly mistakes
I put a drink
in my bag
mister camera cried tears of coconut water.
.
I am so sorry camera.
rest in peace.
your last photographs were lovely
like you
