“Visiting the Dead,” a new poem at Olentangy Review, Winter 2015
A new poem in the Winter 2015 issue of Olentangy Review:
“Visiting the Dead”
The edge of grave
is always close
is blue green black
is not a question
to force the words
of weed or wreck
itself among the salt
ribs of assertion
This, the drowned
cargo left to rot
We are fouled
We do not appear
— an erasure, for Adrienne Rich and my Father
***
