On the Pier (31.10.09): photo by Tom Raworth, 31 October 2009
Were my guardians,
Tenuous and Precarious.
Two Romans.
My father was Hazardous,
Hazardous,
Dear old man,
Three Romans.
There was my brother Spurious,
Spurious Posthumous,
Spurious was Spurious,
Was four Romans.
My husband was Perfidious,
He was Perfidious,
Five Romans
Surreptitious, our son,
Was Surreptitious,
Six Romans.
Our cat Tedious
Still lives,
Count not Tedious
Yet.
My name is Finis,
Finis, Finis,
I am Finis,
Six, five, four, three, two,
One Roman,
Finis.

The Bannocks stand by the box.
They sway to the music.
A California truck driver
in with a load of pianos
shoots pool.
Their women
are not beautiful
they are not
but their eyes
have deep corridors in them
of brown hills of pain and
indecision and under every
lash
is a question no man, not
even their own
can answer.
Where is the deer?
That is not the question.
tic tok, stop de clock.
sings Fats Domino.
We all stand swaying.
it's someone's turn to shoot.

Kiarostami: Eyes should be washed
Rain [Iran]: photo by Abbas Kiarostami, 2005 (Purdy Hicks Gallery, London)
Eyes should be washed, we should see things in another way.
Words should be washed.
A word in itself should be the wind, a word in itself should be the rain.
Sohrab Sepehri (1928-1980): from The Footsteps of Water, 1965

ReplyDeleteWhat did the song say, you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
TC, Found out that big storm knocked a friend down the stairs up to her office and she's at Sutter-CPMC Pacific Campus with multiple fractures from head to toe (actually cheek to arms to ankle). FB Messaging now with her husband after 4-hour surgery. Please be careful out there, T&AC.
