John J. Audubon - Anathallo[00:00:00]

Most of us have heard crashing so loud[00:00:30]

We hear a constant wave that spins[00:00:33]

Between our temples piercing content with its sound [00:00:35]

We lost the 20 000s several years ago [00:00:38]

Gradually we feel it washing blank the[00:00:40]

Range in which we hold the things we know [00:00:43]

Put your ear to a hummingbird's wing [00:00:45]

Place the hum against the ring [00:00:47]

Listen to its still and violent motion making[00:00:48]

Treading water [00:00:51]

We are dense waves [00:00:52]

We don't float [00:00:53]

Our stories all just sink[00:00:54]

Below the mess of wake[00:00:55]

The millions of paddled palms[00:00:57]

Our cupped hands make [00:00:59]

The millions of paddled palms[00:01:05]

Our cupped hands make [00:01:06]

The millions of paddled palms[00:01:12]

The millions of paddled palms[00:01:20]

Our cupped hands make [00:01:21]

The millions of paddled palms[00:01:27]

Overhead the goose flies low [00:01:29]

Necks curve darted straight[00:01:31]

As a compass needle [00:01:33]

Dislocated from his mate [00:01:34]

He found her body rafting toward[00:01:36]

The mouth of the river when[00:01:38]

She disappeared with the current[00:01:40]

Underneath the tree trunk bridge [00:01:41]

Out toward the mouth [00:01:44]

Out with the spilling water [00:01:46]

We saw it coming like a spirit soars directed [00:01:47]

Gunshot smoke and a sinking thereafter [00:01:51]

He fell fast to the ocean while[00:01:55]

The red painted feathers floated down [00:01:57]

And John Audubon thought about the wiring[00:02:27]

As he swam toward the twisted neck[00:02:31]

And the broken boat body bobbed [00:02:33]

Examining the belly for the bullet's tiny piercing [00:02:35]

He cried "Oh "[00:02:39]

When a secret fluttered [00:02:40]

A migrant hummer unlatched its grip [00:02:41]

Overhead his heart sped spooked and we splashed[00:02:43]

As the gail swung cold[00:02:46]

And some fish folded in the crest slap[00:02:48]

Lapped at our heads [00:02:50]

But we received it like a reprimand [00:02:51]

Too consumed by motion to perceive or understand [00:02:54]

John J Audubon his gifted replication [00:02:58]

Painted with precision [00:03:01]

Perfect vision like the shot stain [00:03:03]

And the whole world swam in deaf anticipation[00:03:05]

Till the goose fell like a shed shell[00:03:08]

From which the humming secret sprang[00:03:10]
