Pacific Avenue, San Francisco
Green parrots screak into the fog
plated air; small thumbs for mouths.
Bats I
Gloaming blooms in bats.
They pulse, dissolve; radared

room takes us in, hides us
from the neon signs flashing
through our slit of curtain.
The highways and bar clatter

The dark mud of it all gets washed ashore; river born wood
softened by the lap of water. The Mississippi carries notes
