And Drift Away


There’s fire in the hole, but I have lost
The hard endeavor in the smoke and spark.
For whom and whence was written I knew once,
Boss hog gavotting just in front of death,
Illumination in the margin, sky
The color of Crayola never glimpsed
By god or inamorata. Have you seen
The hole I filled with powdered air and notes
Of sherry, Spanish flies, and cherubim?
I thought not. Let it burn. Maybe the ash,
On such hot air, will land on something green.
