LISTS
for Scott Garrison

people come
people go
lists remain
our blind farrago

algorithms
inner cracking sound system
bleed me
bleed my
love or defeat me
I have met that person
I don’t do autographs
but I am up for the duration

people come
people go
lists remain
our blind farrago

patriotism
secret weapon stashed within
free me
free the
horse underneath me
riding wild to reason
to a place unaware
of the knee-buckling seasons we share

people come
people go
lists remain
our blind farrago

somnambulism
eyelids lowered to the scrim
teach me
teach the
heart that belies a
beating past of war cries
in the thin underneath
of the root killing history we know

people come
people go
lists remain
our blind farrago

this minefield of posts
under a curious step
explodes grief and joy
