Utah (Free verse) by A. Nomaly
Forgot to
Calculate the exact angle
of displacement now
mooding over us all.
He's still inside
counting, degrees and minutes
while the orange glow of
radiation builds
It cant be seen
but the flies know, the
joints and sockets know/all
left hand tools know. He's
still inside scatching heels
and sleeping, cooking
breakfast sausage
and eggs in the microwave. Stirring
spoons of sugared coffee
brown stain smell rising into
nose
leaving traces of valleys
dissected into grids
for roads, for fields,
territories to fly
through
slowly on a bicycle
listening to crows
not speak to you,
now surrounding by
strange black bugs
pointing directions and
not staying long enough
He's still inside
