| SONG
Vaya con dios. the blooms the frozen orange juice cans sweat in the trees. what are those trees. are they Saturday trees. an easy day they say. the green hummingbirds leaving town. they are always telling lies. they don’t know nothing like I know nothing. Go to hell. Saturday is another lie without trees: the newspaper’s headlines thaw out across the tablecloth. who can read it. god’s not home in the trees she flies inside of. I’m not home. no one eats breakfast. they suffocate in pillows. Leave me alone. her hair, etc. god is an apartment with magnolias blooming lemony above a table & chair. how long did we live there. |
