Note on Tundra :: Matthew Johnstone
/when I saw the
/ constancy of dome coming together /
Figure in all that all my scars seem silly /
when I eat the birds / and the drought / in parts we strip
the caribou /
gristling percussive knots / proof / of vague / watch the
pigeons fall asleep / eaters / of the only pit / choired
that before the lowering / the
placement.
