A Shanty

we are bringing seven balls
to fill up the cannon holes
which are different than the balls
that we brought onto the ship
to make sure we do not drown
deep into the ocean sea.

roughly salad called
her into his budoir
a curtain of slush
slowed their progress
the head paid them no mind
and checked their coats at the door.

I knew I was home when
Your bottom lip disappeared
And I could no longer feel the
Curve of your
Chin
On mine.

tiny yellow bugs
are painting halogen on my scalp,
making the noise of wet feet on tile.
they send a telegram to my spine
rolling newsprint down my shoulder:
what is outside my window?

fingers vibrate
hovering over green rock
raising hair and soil
knotted roots become hands entwined
a helicopter floats overhead
we are the world
our legs are moving.

There is this hotel
next to the airport, where you
can only stay once
With
All of these big rooms
(eight-hundred thirty-one)
For us to stay in
And these
Little foreign men
Run all the elevators
Wearing red jackets.
