A benefit for Copper Canyon, February 4th in Seattle

Post-Orphic

Tonight I felt it in my ribs:
A flood of green in the marrow,

And I decided to live right here
And sing sometimes.

I pulled a book from its shelf,
Held the minutiae of the world

Open like a killdeer's wings.
I've lived without names

For plants and trees.
What happens now?
