In the grip of a comfortable stillness.
After a very hot shower, I step out onto the glass
porch for a smoke. The sky today looks like pavement,
dirty ice ground to a crisp plummet of wisps spilled
like respiration, like breathing fell over and
dispersed among the minutes I have before work floods
the space around me with harsh immaculate light and
nowhere to sit down. The glass porch is filthy; we
dump our cigarette butts in plastic bags to be taken
in and fed to the garbage inside. This one, though,
has escaped, and squats contentedly on the floor just
in front of the table between our chairs.
Description is no more true than poetry might be if
living re-arranged itself according to December's
movement across the inertia of birds forgotten in
migration to complexity.
I walk somewhere more basic: I walk to work. At lunch
premonitions of the predictable ice storm enthuses
everyone, even those stamped with dread. These tart
accents and translucent shuffles refuse to submit to
our feedings amid links and iterative loops. At the
center of Baby literatures swoon. ~I mean to drown
interactively~ I would tell Baby, if I could find her
in this seamlessness of scene.
You pick up the snowglobe, forever outside. You shake
it furiously.
