Look then / Where
the father of all things swims in a mist of atoms / Electrons and
energies, quantums and relativities.
The poet's ashes were set in concrete; my mother's in a plastic bag,
box. What there is to describe is gray, particulate, post-blood
quantum. Blood dissolves as dust. The “moron” or “fool”
deserts his mountain camp at night. POW of the near-beyond, man in an
attic drawing girls with penises, pansies. Who breaks our rules is
broken like a thrush's song by civil defense. 33 states have laws
against feeding the homeless. They are pigeons to us, crumbs. Think
outside the box, when box is house, estate, contains nothing for
sale. The man beneath the bridge beside the creek has tarp and bike,
abode. Behind him is lo`i, mountain, before him road crew directing
traffic. He's the scholar in a roll painting, or he is bulk refuse.
We see him push his bike to the road, heading for He`eia. The little
hills of the ahupua`a were formed from the hanged body of a woman
grieving.
