Aperçu du livre

Otherwise This Stone - David Francis

Francis

I. Petitions & Laments

But who knows the fate of his bones, or how often he is to be buried?

— Sir Thomas Browne, Urn Burial, 1658

Petition to Mount Vesuvius

As hard as I threw stones,

none reached the crater

steaming below. I'd hoped

a lucky toss might trigger

the cliffs to shudder a little,

they seemed so darkly still.

I felt hardly real, an empty shadow

like the hollows of the Pompeii dead

that plaster had to fill before

a solid cast could be made.

Shapes rose from the steam,

soliciting my desire to join their kin

and leave the crater to its own

dormant face. But I could not deny the heat

under my skin. Erupt! I cried,

wanting to dream my life

without the effort of living it.

Urban Wind

A sudden gust downtown

and all the car alarms

react. Nobody can stand

still. At the zoo, pinwheels

spin the symmetry of

used car lots, where a trim

of flags and windsocks gauges

the air wildly. There's even

a current behind the boneyard fence

where the parts man holds the part

I need in his fist. How much?

I ask. He shouts a figure.

In the gale, it sounds like a deal.

Star Gazing with Binoculars

Telescopes bring the stars closer but also

speed them up: by the time they're in focus,

they're already drifting out of range. Binoculars

by contrast, will make your arms ache
