Writing: Schomburg, Anderson


TUNGUSKA EVENT


People have started behaving as if they’ve been destroyed by an asteroid. They’re sleeping on the floor like flattened fiery trees. How can I carve out an exact life from this mess of everyone in the world’s days? I cannot even seem to make a dinner with the ingredients in this cupboard in this kitchen disemboweled and on its side in this forest in central Siberia. I’ll look at anything just to avert my eyes.

The new Bible won’t end

even if, in the end, we fill it

with dead insects, old photos, dust.


I’m writing

you from a yellow place, where I’m composing

a lovesong to orange.


Much as, in the original,

David wrote a lovesong to Goliath (expunged).


This is and isn’t true.


There are no oranges in the Bible.
