Squamish General Store

Operatic baritone
               waft upon moon shadow.

Red letter general store
                illuminated fan flashing.

Dark Harley rider
                staples string of explosion
                upon long lean avenue.

Paper run thin.
Day run down.
Brain run dull.
Life run dry.

Swirls and esophageal unrest
                  flutter jitter
                  yawn a sign
                  the cardiac stutter.

{And again again again again}
{     whoa clank piano chord  }
{     stringy groaning bass.     }
                                                 

This grey an oil blotched parking lot
        empty but striped, listing off
        to leftright comego highway,

All of it catching up,
              whelming me over.

Unsettled settler: I've no place
                            I've lost.

June Amber

Dem wurdz Dem wurdz
Lettering on soft wing
Burd wurdz
Buzzed oft
Now potatochipping
like June's dessicated arbutus leaves
Piling husks
upon amber darts
Spent arcs of
June grass.
