Or maybe it’s me / who kneels, presses / my face to the green / cobbled floor of last era’s / ocean, the present’s / veins…
You have two lungs, but / when one collapses the other / cannot be pulled open…
At the end of poetry, we created a city map with layers all merged: / streets, the water flowing over them through sewers to Sound, topographic / cut corners, radio waves to cellular towers to cables beneath the earth, / a string of words.
