oblong boxing day

"If our robots fail like Y2K
would we still be able to communicate?"

--The Wild Reeds

Mlatu ckule.

thin word of a grebe
drawn through sepia fez
whist would be enough

we are in the shadow
drink the shadow's wine
& all our dreams turn gray

perfect Maremma
or Caledonia
place which was Dallas

the fire & the coral
tissue pyramid
out-deface Godzilla

bivouac on Hekla

Long march 5.
