Yonder
by Rae Armantrout 1 Anything cancels everything out. If each point is a singularity, thrusting all else aside for good, "good" takes the form of a throng of empty chairs. Or it's ants swarming a bone. 2 I'm afraid I don't love my mother who's dead though I once - what does "once" mean? - did love her . So who'll meet me over yonder? I don't recognize the place names. Or I do, but they come from televised wars. |
