there’s a poem attaches to the two above —
I've found
it in redevelopment diggings &
transients’ middens.
rooting around
ash ravines for the
moment purged of scrub and,
in a difficulty of
mud and waterline snatch,
reflection of Malaccan clouds.
or here, a mess o’ terra
incognita at the end of
Banning Blvd.,
mixed-use assembly of
chalk and clutch of wire,
curve of red hose, five of the o'clock
shadow. scripture strewn in dust
in tired light no
other clues obtain save
there must have been a line of willows
and a carny yard beyond.
