When We Wake Together in a Lost City
Iris Jamahl Dunkle
Turf’s Yield
Some balconies, all far too confident.
Blind to listen to nothing
as if a gigantic body of water
were right around the corner.
While we’re here we should let insects crawl on us:
Everything must do how distance
used to fold time when it was certain
a balcony would hold strong.
As quick as a puddle seems to a dime, you knew.
The bare trees gape slender like burnt nails
in the lesser errands of a cooked yacht
covered in insects.
As quick as a fist of moths.
Together we try to mimic the snore
of the oldest woman on the balconies
but can’t do the tan lines.
The greatest of all loves is a reluctance to sing.
