PAMUKKALE

Bleach. If you use enough bleach,

you can clean anything, even your

daydreams scaling rice terraces,

white travertine tiers gleaming

in the setting & forgetting.

I have not seen this shade of blue

since that day in Monteverde

when the taxi sputtered away in fumes

bought or borrowed from Kuwait

& left corneas looming in my irises,

had not seen it previously since Hume

asked me to imagine what was missing

& I couldn’t until I met you.

Does that somehow still count?

(They say I dreamt you up.)

Pamukkale, petrified waterfall—

I am so many frozen histories.

I am a hot spring of memories

of the men who dwell inside me;

they live like kings in cotton castles.

I just plan on melting away.
