Visitor

Jacob Fortino

sound, sound, on the ever ear

between both, betwixt

a thundering somersault from

one drum to storm another

 

pressing fast forward rebuilds the highway

a jump in the alphabet

from A to shining Z

I make something of this stroll

I make something of this

 

before parking myself, near

the tide’s end

the band’s yield

la la la

and other microsong s

s       eem farther now

the acoustics, a tropical paramount

incasing new palms

granted, I have yet to visit you

 

to visit a western ray

only midwestern days here

Midwest day to drying sea

I’ll visit you someday

 

I’ll make something of this
