insolvent here
in a pendulous
wombcocoon:
appear
them
this
new face
something to
break
from
you, cicadahusk
shod lone tree
Branches
plexus flex
out, soak in
new sun.
In Rick’s airconditioned office. Big bank window over grass strip & stones,
redbrick
filling station wall backdrop.
—We’d like you to meet with the reps, Clay. Jes t’talk over
some options.
Details. So let’s expect a letter direct from the FDIC t’tell
ya the date
an time, y’know, the place.
—Sure there isn’t sumthin more sumthin other we can do?
—Oh
they’ll find a way of course to work with you, around—whatever
I’m
sure—a payment schedule. Convenient, end to the means.
Then up & around
to
gladhand. An ethic
to lift them together—
Ellen & her Clay
— to meet him
(best strong face)
smile, & wish him
good day.
a wind moved by bramble
chrysalis wound tight
adhering the air in Maya
(world of appearance this
new here)
together.
