Instruments of Crashing
You exit the car face pressing past the glass breaking the ice before you perform the weightless dance of death impromptu pirouettes your limbs are free from form the car conducts the instruments of crashing saxophones squeal as metal slides percussion plays on the pavement trombones are moaning in the back seat cymbals circle in the smoke flutes and clarinets bring it home ...

Over Styrofoam

Melting
I want to sleep. Better yet, I’d rather melt right through the couch. Taking lint, quarters, and pieces of candy as I go. And when I reach the floor I’ll find its holes and sink through those too. Like water sneaking in the pores of concrete while trapped air screams little gasping bubbles to the surface. Hopefully then the earth may drink me, as I purify all the trash we’ve...

W.S. MERWIN:
I love the city, but I also love the country and I realize that when I’m in the city I miss the country all the time, and when I’m in the country I miss the city some of the time. So what I do now is live in the country and go to the city some of the time.
