north of Pig's Eye

ERICA-TREE

Giuliana opens a pottery shop

in Red Desert (the film).

Destination of the earth –

Slim Pickens, Strange Love (stop!).

The mystery of desolation.

Calcified lava

Under the Volcano.

Monarchs, Mexico (extinction).

Henry’s buried north of Pig’s Eye

inside an Erica-tree.

Come back for you & me,

someday.  Maybe.  I don’t know why.

He’s Osiris, in a hoary

Hobo boot.  Isis

is us.  She’s

barely there (yesterday’s story).

Somebody’s Mom no doubt, planted

in Cahokia clay (naturally).

The river is a lonesome bee,

rolling honey-balls out of decay (putrid!).

Henry strays onto mountain, in the sun

shouting, we’re Everyone!

Lightning jets down

lighting whole plateau (goodbye, platoon).

In the heart of the burble-stream

Hobo-prospector

strikes a vein, in the ore.

Honey bleeds from lava dream.
