"abernathy" poems
I am seer of thine in Abernathy
but squarely this divineness fore
my essence will describe
with maturation on my side whether
or not this dither fantasize will deduce gold hexagons
that mix a feather awhile and let dolce vita thrive
a supremely superb undulance in ubiquity here.

*Oh, Abernathy
How long has it been
Since we left school
And went our separate ways?
Oh, Abernathy
I still think of you
And I wonder how you are
To this day
All the things we used to make
All the rules we tried to break
And they say that kids will still be kids
But, oh, Abernathy
The teachers are doing fine
They were smiling
When I visited them one day
And, oh, Abernathy
I hope you're doing well
Wherever you are
Whatever may come your way
Oh, the memories I hold dear
They have all but disappeared
It's both a blessing and a curse
Oh, Abernathy
My Lawrence, Abernathy
I wonder what you're doing
To this day
There's no need to be upset
Please don't sweat this stuff or fret
I only want to let you know
Abernathy, you're still on my mind
I remember your golden hair and your pearly eyes
Our friendship will never fade away, I swear
Oh, Abernathy
Dear Lawrence, Abernathy
I just pray to God
That you are still okay
Oh, Abernathy
I always think of you
And I wonder how you are
To this day*

Do you remember the year 1861? I was just ending my practicum of nursing, and you were being drafted to war. Oh, the day we met on that rain-washed Thursday while you were dodging the doctor from a scratched cornea, I admired you from across the medical tent.
Noticing me quickly, you half smiled. War was quickly setting into place, while you and I plunged head first into love.
We woke up to a conked labor union and our whole base blowing to hell.
My ears, my ears were engulfed with vibrations of cannon sounds.
Then and there, a bullet committed one's self to the center of my chest.
But you found me, slipping into utter darkness. You culled me back towards consciousness.
Flower, Flower, you said. And here I stand beside your plot in the necropolis, knowing my name could have been here just as easily as yours.
eternally yours,
Your Flower.

Her fennel failed, so it was off to market-
where local lemon squares cartwheel
with kettle corn
as free samples dissipate...
and the business-
of honing in on
a needful thing
becomes the
sepia tone
on a wharf of
gathering.
with the fog that threatened
the forecast, abated.
the air was gray-yellow
with a new sun cracking mist
as veterans
meander like elk in hoodies
between the fresh catch
of the day
and the venison heart
on ice.
under glass.

Agatha Abernathy slapped clay on a wheel and spun with her bare hands all manner of things to hold in your mind. She slept through thunderstorms as if a storm front were a blanket. There was no such thing as too many cats; and marmalade was a condiment.
Agatha had nothing to say.... And nothing to keep to Herself.
