Loom

O, to shear some April’s sun

& from its wool spin yarn

To weave a tapestry

Of flame, of fire stags leaping over trees

Black as candlewicks, packs of fire dogs

Burning bright behind

Them! O, to hang the thing

Before that cold, unbroken

Wall of sky, that it may flutter in the rain-

Light like some fire-

Wild Butterfly god!

  On second thought—,

Let’s fold it like a flag at a funeral & present it

To the first weeping woman we see.

poem after a poem by césar vallejo

w/ a nod to donald justice
