30 Shiva With Walkman in Malden December air thick with balsam fir and fried chicken settles in slush-filled ruts of ice on the front lot of the strip-mall. She moves light and sure through turning cars, her mind a deathless song. Suddenly over headphones crash of tsunami breaks in and rushes all stations. She moves light and sure through market doors, her mind a deathless song. Tins of green curry don’t make a sound, sacks of Thai rice doze in low berths. Happy shoppers, (trust and fable of abundance)— floating bodies, (horror and faith of her ways). The morning sun that patterns wood floors same star that breaks open the sea. She moves light and sure through daily chores, her mind a deathless song. The Cenacle | 59 | October 2006
31 Dream #9 I watched it fall from star-thick space, an unclaimed face white-hot and alluring, striking earth without sound or smoke in a weedy corner lot. I ran over and wrapped it— oval, seamless, unformed— in a cool flannel sheet. A radiant, placid face— eerily familiar for all its strangeness. I was told to take it to a man in a suit on the 44 th floor of the Trans-America Pyramid to have him conduct an interview for the eleven o’clock news. He lifted the sheet, panicked, sent us packing. On a splintered green billboard beside the Divisidero off-ramp, I nailed up the sheet level to the eyes of all who sped by. The message-board ran the words “mirage” and “redemption” in an endless electronic loop. I awoke eviscerated, modified, sputtering something about “the two-fold mystery of an alien messiah.” The Cenacle | 59 | October 2006
