By What It Means to Be a Traveler


All I ever wanted to do was to go home
So here’s my heart with its odd cock-eyed
Dissatisfaction the blood of the tale-teller
Cruel and unruly and dripping on the table
Like a night rain but slower and staunched
Once more through the green air you
Promised would never come here to this
Place we call an upside-down language
This lopsided discourse O we remember
Endless fields of Indiana corn and white
Windmills more recently so stunningly there
Where we never knew such things could grow
Where we never expected the current of sexes
Adrift in all that razor sharp leafy green
