monsoon season

monsoon season

the boy from Texas
cleaned the gun
and we patrolled long away.

two ridge lines
too far.
heard noise in the bush
and kept so quiet.

"maybe it's rock apes,"
someone lipped.
I thumbed the safety off
and unwound
three hundred bullets
so they would feed
straight.


no one knew then
how impossible
it would be to go home
and rest.

 

that's me in the right foreground, behind the machine gun

Monkeys

There are no monkeys here. If you're looking for monkeys, go away. Well, actually there are monkeys, but they're of the hairless variety that writes poetry and such. If that's not what you're looking for move along.
