made in pago pago
Drinking horsetail tea we ask for your pledge
Dreaming grandpaw’s doodle-riddled invoices
From the Glitter and Doom Tour, 8.77 WFUV
All agog at the vast martini swell on Ganymede
You and your series of brilliant lost mazurkas
Unbatten your hatch and loosen your snood
Ghost of red shifts railing on the veranda again
Daedalus and Ariadne dancing in the labyrinth
One leg made of huckleberry wing surges
And all my efforts to fly are fodder for a farrago
As thermal increases forecast new diseases
Buntings and honeycreepers nest in my chest
Yet there’s no place to hide from inner yearning
My motor runs off the fumes of egging hecklers
