(Tuscaloosa Notebook Poems)

IN THE CEMETARY BY THE STADIUM
Rain hit you on purpose
All over your second language
Busted iron archway over
Over a street of bats
Hinge of radiance
Passionate solipsism
Put an apocalypse in the middle
To make light of the room
Taxonomies of rain
Unravel at the shoulder
Cavalry vs. Calvary vs. Calgary
Compulsory nervousness
Would not follow you to Texas
Shaken awake as the car rolled
Razorblade under your tongue
Make a room of light
Going into the ground
