Nouns

Port Hills

Godley—

 

consider this allotrope. a tunnel represents our thirst

for the panoramic. when we were young our antecedents

came one after the other. take these disparate summits

 

for example. there’s a girl. there’s a stretch of road. & yet

this thin inlet of dark water & exposed hillsides cannot overcome

the modern conventions of lovemaking. there are implements

 

for sale. conduits. culverts. drainage ditch. despair is little

more than an afternoon on quail island. There are those who

are directly tied to nature, while others are theologically

 

oriented. we go down. we go up. some words in the poem are

suggestive while others are almost entirely invisible & represent something

on a much larger scale. macrocosm. macrocarpa. macron. the gondola

 

spreads fires & has a mind of her own. litigation without grammar

leaves us feeling queasy. the face of a girl in a mirror symbolizes more

than the face of a girl in a mirror & is never safe to drink. oh, to seek

 

the sheer ruggedness of interpretive models! none of

the preceding sentences can be validated.  most of us went missing

a long time ago. still, there’s the faintest hint of something french here.
