Orlean
(Originally published by Chronogram Magazine here)
Without announcement
the flood made a song
the face that launched a thousand ships
is the face for which I travel.
I’m new here
I haven’t begun
to walk myself gracefully
I can’t see voodoo buoyed
or the face
there are many things
at which I fail
I want to see (I want to see)
with sterling sight
a chaos of Eris.
I want to see the flood at night.
