Watching Your Killer on Vimeo
I watch her inter-
View on tape: VA
She says / is
The space between
Us / living and dead
It comes from
The land / care
Taken of graves
And between us
“VA is everywhere”
Albert Wendt
Writes / after I
Published a book
Whose title offended
You / I visited his
Office (Kuykendall 511)
Asked him what
To do / given the word
That begins with “c”
In English / the author
Also American
Hadn't known
And while Wendt
Understood your concern
Said cultures change
They're remade
By us / as he had done /
Reflected through the lens
She says on Vimeo
Of her perception
Drawn to taboo
Tattoos like those
On her hands
Those who act
I can imagine
Rewind that image
Back to her theater
Back to her
Teaching / back to
Her her her her her her
Ten minutes up
Return a stranger
And more than
Strange that you
Can’t hear my
Words / bent screen
On wood house
God is ugly
Elizabeth writes / so
We won’t identify
With him / we
Who are beautiful
As her words
Were until time
Ends / we tend
Your memory grave
Ashes to ashes
Word upon word
Upon word upon
Unmortared rock
with thanks to Elizabeth Robinson
