rest in pleasure, Pete Seeger.
you may have spent your entire life
ignoring your wife and children,
in search of folk songs,
but you were in the weavers
and i’m sure you weren’t
that bad of a dude.

[She] looked
out the window
and said, “Hundred.
There’s a hundred
snows out there.”

My internal babushka is concerned.
On days as windy as today,
one cannot help but worry
for one’s line-drying laundry.
It was a day very similar to this one
when I found my sheet
in the neighbor’s yard.

There are some everlasting
constants in this world. The sun
rises in the East, the seasons come
and go, and I can’t ever
find the goddamned cumin.

The Mediterranean Sea at Antalya
yesterday. Tonight, we fly
to Kyrgyzstan. But for now,
we all plan to walk all
along the Sea toward the Snow-covered
mountains on the western horizon.

When I was born & she was 1,
my sister, unable to pronounce
my name, baptised me
‘cuco’ — that alien being
which prowls the night
of children’s minds…
From this I learned a valuable lesson
& to cherish the monstrosity
of my being. & you,
when did you accept your monster-being?

One
thing about living
in the middle
of nowhere is when
you go outside at night
you can see practically every
star from your
front door.

today you and I walked
alongside the Mediterranean Sea while
I kept my eye open
for a silver coin to wash ashore.
I didn’t find the coin (and you
admitted that you weren’t really
expecting me to find it).
We will pay our taxes
some other way.

it is a beautiful morning!
And when I look to the East,
there’s a rainbow
end on each side of the sun
