Leonard Gontarek Study / Star God sees only me. He's drunk. Waving sumac. 90 degrees. Car alarm, truck back-up beep. One star in pond. Sunk grappling hook. Nude woman ironing the birds. Wind & awful song through limbs. Saw the foot off. Only way to slow it down. Tulips. Vanishing. Aluminum-blue cloud. I'm disappearing, too. So's his drink. What God sees: infrared. Study / Wheat I am buried alive in light. Temperature of pond water. Aroma of loam, mica. Agitated, the stars cross my face, trailing out. I miss scent of ocean, sunset. Bales of wheat spilled like drinks in the silence. Anonymous portrait. Cities & cemeteries flaking dogwood petals. |
