Joseph Ceravolo: Ho Ho Ho Caribou

for Rosemary 

I
Leaped at the caribou.

My son looked at the caribou.

The kangaroo leaped on the

fruit tree. I am a white

man and my children

are hungry

which is like paradise.

The doll is sleeping.

It lay down to creep into

the plate.

It was clean and flying.
II
Where you...the axes are. Why is this home so hard. So much like the sent over the courses below the home having a porch. Felt it on my gate in the place where caribous jumped over. Where geese sons and pouches of daughters look at me and say "I'm hungry daddy."
III
Not alone in the gastrous desert. We are looking at the caribous out in the water swimming around. We want to go in the ocean along the dunes. Where do we like? Like little lice in the sand we look into a fruit expanse. Oh the sky is so cold. We run into the water. Lice in heaven.
IV
My heel. Ten o'clock the class. Underwater fish brush by us. Oh leg not reaching! The show is stopping at the sky to drive in the truck. Tell us where to stop and eat. And drink which comes to us out in the sand is at a star. My pants are damp. Is tonight treating us but not reaching through the window.
V
Where is that bug going? Why are your hips rounded as the sand? What is jewelry?
Baby sleeps. Sleeping on

the cliff is dangerous.

The television of all voice is

way far behind.

Do we flow nothing?

Where did you follow that bug

to?

  See quick......is flying.
VI
Caribou, what have I
done? See how her
heart moves like a little

bug......under my thumb.

Throw me deeply.

I am the floes.

Ho ho ho caribou,

light brown and wetness

caribou. I stink and

I know it.

"Screw you!...you're right."

VII
Everyone has seen us out
with the caribou but
no one has seen us out in 

the car. You passed

beyond us.

We saw your knees 

but the other night we

couldn't call you.

You were more far than a

widow feeling you.

Nothing has been terrible.

We are the people who have

been running with

animals.

More than when we run?
VIII
Tell us where o eat to stop and eat.

The diner is never gonna come.

The forest things are passing.

I did drink my milk

like a mother of wolves.

Wolves on the desert

of ice cold love, of

fireproof breasts and the breast

I took like snow.

Following me

I love you

and I fall beyond

and I eat you like a

bow and arrow withering in the

      
desert.


IX

No one should be mean.

Making affection and all the green

Winters wide awake.

Blubber is desert. Out on

the firm lake, o firm

and aboriginal kiss.

To dance, to hunt, to sing, 

No one should be mean.

Not needing these things. 

X
Like a flower, little light, you open,
and we make believe
we die. We die all around 
you like a snake in a
well and we come up out
of the warm well and
are born again out of dry
mammas, nourishing mammas, always
holding you as I
love you and am
revived inside you, but
die in you and am
never born again in
the same place; never 
stop!
