Today Poem
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blueprint
I am building a small functional heart
from all the towns in my country
from the country I used to inhabit
from the birds in that country &
the rodents the young couple
from New Orleans like to eat we
are stretching this line because we
believe in monuments & swaths
of grey because we believe in our
powers so that the small nervous
system we built to go with the heart
will fit inside the chests & skulls
of each of us
this is our wish our aspiration
our wide collective breath

Thanks for mentioning my Hellicane site on your own excellent blog. I'm proud to feature your poem among the others there. Was wondering if the writer of this poem would also like to be featured at Hellicane? it is a beautiful piece. All the best.
