514. Supple in Seattle

More Salish art and a poem resulting from what the postcard fest instructions suggested since year 1, that is “something of the here and now” should/could get into the poem. That’s what postcards are after all, no? My ongoing battle with dehydration and the fest as respite from life in pre-crash USAmerican empire are also recurring themes of the work.

    “the poem reveals
    its own
    suppleness”
    in gray Autumn
    waning
    the face
    of my interconnected
    self
    traversed
    by spiders
    on two sides
    of the glass
