Somehow Lifted
Drifting through the drugstore parking lot aching for a little voodoo face-time I had assumed the role of a no credit editor of silence inside a forklift catalog of sunsets. A hybrid Day of the Dead tattoo fading into a sunburnt shoulder. I could still feel the kelp-bed tremors & cold knuckles, the blue press blob & ringtone resurrecting a phantom pain. And then I remembered that I always wanted to end a poem with the word “polyurethane”.
