More in Dregs & Other Unreadables

keeping pablo in my heart with his birds

i chased pablo
with leap after leap
across the feathered backs
of a hundred songbirds
painted in a thousand colors
by dead impressionists

i chased him
from texas
to new mexico
to california
then all over mexico

only to realize
he'd escaped into a flute song

and word by word
slipped into poetry

before I was even born.
