Scott Metz


the foothill
of white noise
recording our collapses


§


negative tide
carrying around
an amputated staircase


§


late capitalist
sunlight

filling the crowd
of people

made of glass


§


a post
automobile

part of
town

a song
from the
underworld


§


cicadas and the death toll sound bites the fading into


§


the oligarchy of daffodil-high flags


§


while the maps are printing a manifesto-like wind


§


the etcetera of woodsmoke
rolling over a seagull
of clenched hands


§


trumpets low in the mix an asterisk that leads nowhere
