I didn’t think about it at the time,
but in the desert, I think was trying to write
to Georgia O’Keeffe,
like Joni Mitchell writes to Amelia Earhart when she is driving
in the desert.
As if a song can communicate with the spirits or awaken the
dead.
I mean, isn’t that what it is for?
I was but wasn’t quite writing
“I spotted six red cannas”
as I was driving towards Ghost Ranch in the
north of New Mexico,
but I was seeing them,
red cannas in the sky
like they were tearing up the heavens
opening the zipper
to let loose all kinds of spirits,
and you know,
there used to be an ocean here,
we used to be all under water
Red cannas in the sky
Red cannas
in the sky
desert
Georgia, Georgia, Georgia
1915… 1927… 1929… 1946…
1976… 1980… 1986… 1999…
awaken the dead
red cannas in the sky
1943…
1937…
1924…
1821…
1563…
Clovis points…
The Niobraran Sea…
the ocean… the ocean… the ocean…
