One Claim Is Immortal

 

I filmed the grass, looking uneasy, thinking of the desert. at a trail for years, the land nearby, the plight of Moses.

 

churning earlobes, mystic the dance, the yogi would listen—I, too, would listen.

 

days to islands. orphans like older issues, many occurrences, more pressure.

 

the plague of palmer-wood; the universe is growling, reality is shifting.
