Taller than a flying bullet
Jack Galmitz
leaf the sun leaf the sun leaf the sun except here on
the stiff back the sharp back the stone back however set of the jetty spitting sea
Sixtieth Anniversary of the People's Republic soldiers marching soldiers marching soldiers marching in perfect formation
a sea of red of white in Beijing
Boiling tar poured over gravel raked in place by men in yellow rubber uniforms then the roller the giant roller
comes forward goes over goes over goes over
the future arrived the future arrived the future arrived with
a bride & groom & their screaming entourage in a huge limousine
with liquor cabinets
this time this time deserves a dirge a dirge for the dying for the dead
flung in unmarked graves everywhere everywhere & for those who would add their stack
for the prestige attached
branch shadows flickering branch shadows flickering on the walls on all the walls is how I want
to be found the morning I'm gone
ask ad reinhardt ask ad reinhardt ask ad reinhardt what is painting
what is black
a boy crying cause he's lost a boy crying cause he wanted popcorn pipers rushing to the shore looking for mole crabs
who've left only their holes seagulls skirting the shallows for something to eat crying cause there's nothing there at all but empty shells
of once living things
listen to the locust pods rattle hear the locust pods
rattle listen to the locust pods rattle they're a percussive movement
for men & wind
the mountain for viewing the mountain for hiking
the mountain for looking on the valley below the mountain for stream beds the mountain for tadpoles
the mountain for bear dens the mountain for ant trails the mountain in the sky of unobstructed blue
blue yellow red yellow blue red a black
grid to support the luminance & the distances
there's no mystery what is unknown she sits in the grass in a white dress wearing a crown of marigolds
