Kyshun's House






The mosquitoes are thick as thieves,
and the springiness below my feet
reminds me
that this was all swamp
in the past
and the future.

Kyshun says:
"I haven't been inside in a while...
usually I just drive by."

I am trying to find rapport
I am looking for common ground.
But all I can manage is a memory about mosquitoes
and the trucks that would come
to spray chemicals in the air.

Then I see him slip into the past.
I see what he remembers.

This is his mother's house and her mother, Ms. Mary.
Later, Ms. Mary and I rock in rocking chairs
sitting across from each other.
She tells me stories of things that came before.

And I am almost asleep
but for the faint buzz
of the mosquito
in my ear.

Cutting Barbie into a Thousand Little Pieces


Kitter and the Girls

We fall into step
with Kitter and the Girls
at Charters and St. Ann.
In just 15 minutes, his shirt is off.
And the camera is out.
He tells us a story of hope and woe.
And being lost at sea.
He tells us a story
about the birds
etched on his breast.
