for Ron Silliman

for Ron Silliman





Say you’ve got a right to be here.
Coming up for air
from the hollowed prayer 

Taking to the lazy lizards as I write.
Freedom is access to
two competitive grants

Nature abhors a leash.
Capitalize not every other
but the last for force

Swig-fizz of shit beer
brightened by insect chants
by my bite-swollen ear

Drab cardinal whistles
to mockingbird it thinks
is a mockingbird

Cricket walks
up the porch post
to get to the tree

The cat in the Kabyle.
The lighter side of… Centcom.
The Nono simply in your head
