Silver Lake

‘This life isn’t all hookers-and-blow, you know’

but even so one day a month you’d ease the car off

the boulevard, your u-turn describing a long slow arc,

forgetting the pretence of work, the litter of scripts

on your passenger seat. Driving south

against the rush hour, the commute, as a salmon

might make its way, by force of will, upstream.

And so you headed out towards Tijuana.

I remember you saying you could order from a menu.

How the oiled girls lined up to meet-n-greet you.

But I could not tell you which part of yourself

you handed over as your Buick crawled across the border.

Or which part of yourself you left forever

with Tanya, Tracy-Mae, Encarnación or Estella.
