[Over yesterday, today and tomorrow the WOLF will feature the terrific and tantamount collaborators behind the Whenever We Feel Like It reading series, Emily Pettit and Michelle Taransky. Yesterday, beginning with Emily. Today, Michelle. Tomorrow, Michellily/Emichelle.]
IF THIS IS A GOAT, I WILL TELL YOU
The goat is used as an insult with
A wide range of meanings
You said the best reason
An answer with a reference
When you mark breaths
As if loss and land use may escape
Calculation or revenge
Like naming the woods after the pond
I wanted to begin differently
DESPITE THE WOODS
This is a novel
Reciting disease
After disease after
Spending the season
At a stranger’s place
Wood-evil halting— I
Take it broken
Teach cruelty to the house
To say hello to the loser like
It doesn’t matter who knows
Who forgave who for taking
The house from shipwreck
Reason why you are the whale
Here not in the road but
The road to another
Picture where we are
Wolvewhales and sheepwhales
You could be the woodcut
Cut into the wood
That sounds like worship
Stops like
Stop saying beautiful things
I’m worried about losing
The house the whole
Fall when
Starts from scratch
The scratch
