To Do 2016: A Novel (Sequel to To Do 2015: A Novel)

 

 

Oklahoma does lightning

 

                        as well as

                                    or more striking than

                             any place else

            on earth

To the east

            past midnight

                                                repeated blasts

                        above towering clouds

flash                            full                              white

white                          full                              flash

full                              white                          flash

full                              white                          white

                                                                        flash

                                    full                              white

white                          flash

                                                                        white

                        suffusing

                                                not confusing

            swelling tower of clouds

From here

                        no thunder

                                                yet

                                    repeated heat

            of light

roars

            white                                      flash

Hope is a rounded noun

 

lessness hope lesson

we all wish surrounded us

 

nest less relent

followed—filled—our footfalls

 

turbulence lodging dis

swallowed out our hollows

Forthcoming

 

As

outside light

dims office begins

to

slough off

flow into a

liminal

space neither

here nor there

Not

yet dark

never again light

I 

enter into

and emerge out

of 

my own

black and white

interiority

Race

In Hallowed

 

They strike me

wearing white

Surely bones can

 

I have come to

so quick

Present

 

When you see

No matter

wrapped in

 

Woman's

Ever I reach

Silver

 

It is my duty to

My see
