[Idle elevators of grain…]

Idle elevators of grain. Plenty of parking. Deciduous trees

of the genus Ulmus, known for their arching branches and serrate leaves

with asymmetrical bases, Gunplay in our houses of steak,

houses of pancakes. Dried valerian rhizomes. Bunk weed. Osage.

Deliberately elliptical poetic works reflect a fear of political commitment after

Granted, by Scarecrow

Granted

The pines
sitting in the pines themselves.

The whole world
enthroned upon itself.

And so the man prays
to be filled so.

And only then
as these branches,
these stones,
this soil –

let the wind howl
and spark
how she may.
