O Illinois!


 


O Illinois 

I’m sending you a Hollywood postcard 

a Collateral lush island 
visor 

a Dark City Shell Beach 
nightmare 

a six-year-old’s walk 
on packed sand 

bending for green sea glass 

stretching toward gorged pelicans 

climbing palmetto lined sea walls 
when the sun blisters. 

In a neighbor’s yard 
 dogs race around a collapsed pool. 

 A boxer jumps a fence 

 landing in soft snow.
