dear mother, happy birthday
(near bears ear, ut)
i think i am loosing my eyesight
DNA nuclear
visiting a blind man,
his wife is cooking
their son is the guide of the nuclear tour
water is not a mineral
ice is
all shamans are dead,
dogs dig their bones out of their graves
what is silica
how does silica relate
to diatoms
diatoms are whale’s food
diatoms are the invisible habitants
of the ocean
this was the ocean
we are picking up oysters’ shells
from the desert
–compression made oil
–this universe is expanding
how volcanoes erupted, shaped the land
how language travel, shape the people
build-on (clay) houses
raising sheep, cheap lanolin, for bullets
taking out the eyes of lambs
to eat them later
eating dead things
scores from EPA,
234, 235, 238 isotopes
2 billion years of half-life
everything decades to clay
back into inert clay-state
here radiated petrified wood
decaying from exposure
the DNA of the land
i am loosing my eyesight
i am loosing
i am loss
i am water, evaporated or
spilled
coming back
to clay
