Tahoe
“The World is not Conclusion . . .” Dickinson wrote ‘ . . .it beckons and it baffles.”
before labor runs Memphis,
fire is at the edge, a temptress
squeezing all the juneness
from the lake of conclusion...
winnow– winnow da ow a ga,
lake of the sky. stand rivercide,
imagine no baccarat,
no weekends breaking tide
on the cleanest, bluest. rock steady
on loose gravel gorillas. smoke
a pingdemic glass of rhyme at 2:55,
the Caldor door an open flame
on the wine sun paddling in with the hive
while the world still beckons and baffles.
2021 streaming, bid Tahoe adieu!
put the pieces together,
nothing lasts forever...
