In the parking lot In the hit of my haw In the pit of my lightning boat I tape garbage bags to the windows and am given take home pictures of my bones. It is my anniversary and the dead have perfect hands with which to match their memory to the grass. Did you think you would feel it in your head he said when you were a photograph?

The water ouzle, an adept bird. The stellar jay who peeked at you wondering about your sandwich. The prickly pine hugging the rock The grave movement of the river A turnpike lit itself The level of grass as it appeared an hour before it was grass There may have been something there.

A void of stuff, an eddy of bricks The light on an orange page following the trail of a butterfly who is human, a butterwoman. *James Grinwis* is the author of *The City from Nome* and *Exhibit of Forking Paths*. He is the co-founding editor of Bateau Press and lives in Northampton, MA. -- RealPoetik www.realpoetik.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
