Apology for and Further Explanation of an Attempt to Divert Accusations of Equivocation

In my hometown it was like January,

like January in Oaxaca, in Fortin

de las Flores, like Fortin

in the mid-forties, like the 40

in December, like December

on the river, a forest of willows

half in, half on the outside of water,

like the river in the picture,

like the picture above your bureau,

like your bureau filled to over-flowing

with feathers each color of the spectrun

feathers inflated through vowels,

through curtains of bougainvilla, going

on forever, forever as it formerly was,

in the lustre of a lov one's luggage,

baggage to carry lightly or reverently

toss-off into the Bay of Fundy

Thank you for four of gold mice

who never wake me up at night,



for the pocket-size surveillance device,

for works which tell me nothing's unakin.

In January it was like my hometown

in the 1940 in the middle of December,

December a a little cold glass of water at noon

in the summer a clinking of cowbells

to signal it's evening. I was seven

four, eight, eleven still unborn,

brother to my younger sister,

sister to my mother, father like a twin,

twins like vapor trails upon clear nights

in October. You were my shadow

I dared not pace into. You stood by

my shoulder, champion, angel, faithful

companion I dared not gaze in the eye.

What was it like for you?

Were you about to pace into your skin,

like water poured from a pitcher,

like an ant into amber, like molten gold?

Was the gold like someone's fortune

or stupidity folly a moving picture you'd earn

into for a quarter, when a quarter meant

more than a dollar, a dollar a bit

of a futurity you'd be expected to furnish,

I'd be with-you to finish,

of a finish wearing the date of your birth,

polished with everyone's trusts

polished with everyone's dreams,

lost in a basket of keepsakes.
