like a loose archipelago—

when the whole

sluggish island nose-dives

like a foundering whale—

I am the ladle they call

Diaspora,

I am the rhyton

whose measure is tears.

Drink up. Wish me luck.

(Cuttlefish thrash in a whirlpool cup.)

So that blue monkeys swing

in turpentine trees,

so that blue women

chatter like chickpeas in jars:

all the figs of Memphis

are not sweeter than your fingertips—

so long out of touch, so long out of touch

they trace their lineage in scar.

Persona Non Grata
