~going to college in Colorado~
~word had it a Jewish boy she was dating~ 
~liked to smack her around~
~they’re coming to visit in a couple of weeks~
~don’t know if I can behave myself~
~I confessed to Uncle Max~
~those pigs’ll eat a man~he told me~
~say his legs are broken~they’ll kill him & eat him~
~Uncle Max scratched his chin~
~you have to crush the skull though~
~pigs can’t get their jaws around it~

~II.  Uncles & Ants~

~this city rises up~
~his wife~
~is asleep in the trunk~
~too many reasons to leave her~
~it swallows people whole~
~generations are lost~
~dinosaurs tripping on ants~
~where do the little people go~

Picture
~tympany of  armor~whisper leaves click~
~roots of dawn~dinosaurs & ants~ devour us~
~give birth our children~God-brain consciousness~chaos~ catastrophe~stasis~
~reduced mobility~mordidity~metamorphosis~
~blood on blood definition~
~diseased to survive~destined to breed out~
~Trees~

~like giant frozen ants~
~they people the horizon~
~are they marching or cloud passing~
~illusion or prehistoric gait~
~open to specific remembrance~
~certainty of future scene~
~opportunities in the eye of dawn~

~on the threshold~
~a keen awareness develops~
~provides window~
~a frame of reference~
~these are circles we have been~
~tied wandering to bodies of water~
~feet planted as some tender root~
~proud bent & dependent~
~each separate universe of skin~
~a community of creatures~
~rapt about its god brain~
~chaos~
~random catastrophic event~
~brittle static hair~
~nests~
~a whisper of dinosaur wing~
~primordial umbrella~
