Coronation Day
Coronation Day
i. New Years Day, 1981 - BE HAPPY In beauty it begins, you startle from sickness, guess at the month, say, where did all my loved ones go? and they call out from the dark which orients you until you begin to respond to the light, notice the blinking machine, 1,2,3, and the voices again from their tape, 1, 2, the recording of your parents you made to get through those last years where every breath held a landscape most thought incapable of life, when every phonecall after dark gave you the shakes and now always will-- a death on christmas, a second on new years eve, and everything went up in flame so the world could be made new again. ii. When The Town You Came From Finally Dies I wind through you across the threaded yard, through nighttime, unfinished letters in the grass grown ankle-high, the storm flickers in the distance that quivers with the wind, low under the heat it whispers drive or fly or just make it north, to you, to her, depending on who's there and who hears, and through the grass towards the porch light incandescent through white rain you find me soaked in paper strips and begging endlessly, footprints feathered deep in mud, grounded by thunderstorms we'll leave so far behind rattling the weakened roof until the light trickles dead in the lightning, the body too shamed to walk upright, so bare as the bulb and it's threads in the night. iii. Plagiarism, part 2 If I took off all my clothes and went to the desert I could walk into the dreaming. These words belong to everybody and the world becomes your body and side by side the sky would spin us like sparks on the fourth of july where the sounds of celebration float over the far hills. It's July and the Earth cools in the darkness beneath us. Stay awake now and forever belong here, speak these words with me and deny that every night needs a day that we are even awake that death has ever entered the world- how could it? Speak these words to forget the life you wanted for the one you have now. Here, take this crown; I'll find a sword. When I wake up just don't leave me alone.
