roger singer | she cries of voice

Posted on May 23rd, 2009 by Monsieur K.

She steps into the music.
Her fingers, thin brown pencils
sign the beauty of her voice
into the microphone;
a signature pressing through
metal.

A black wall. His fears standing
against him.
No breath blows the barrier down.
No shouts, push, pull hide the anger.
a
But when he sings….
a

He sings the strength of trees falling,
owning the space where they lie.

hosho mccreesh | edgewood

Edgewood

It was the damnedest thing–

we’d lost a few head of Brahman
out there past the Culbertson place,
& this one in particular, beautiful gray one,
her bones knuckled up against the
underside of her pelt as she rotted,
like brambles under a half foot of snow,
that ol’ hide stretched taut enough
for a stray cat to hide her winter litter
right in the hollow, nestled there
‘tween the brisket & flank,
under that stinky ol’ leathery tarp,
just enough shelter to make it ’til Spring…

hosho mccreesh | truth or consequences

Truth or Consequences

…it’s the salt cedar–thick, suffocating, merciless–
plain as mineral striations on each lakeside cliff,
Elephant Butte is dying…

& it’s the goddamned salt cedar,
it’s furious thirst respecting nothing,
it’s furious thirst murdering the Bosque,
leaving only saturated silt banks,
sand against sedimentary clay…
