Atmospheric River
We stood and watched Earth end itself—
Spontaneous, it was. There and then,
Curtains.
Fallen camellias once owned
The sidewalk. Now, smashed by
Busy-busy feet-feet.
American Wood Ibis in 1964’s
National Geographic is migrating to
Elysium.
My friend, I was just talking to him
Yesterday. People ask me now.
Did he ever exist.
We thought he was more resilient
Than that. What the fuck?
We’re supposed to be more resilient.
Than that.
But, we’re not.
We are tissue paper hiding from the rain.
