PAPERCLIP


By stealth,

the train in my living room

is melting.

My brother is being killed

for saving my life.

 

It was so humid that day

we visited the fighter wing

watching the jets.

I was on life support

wheezing,

God Bless America,

remembering our grandfather in

Alamogordo testing bombs for the

Air Force in the 50’s.

 

The constellation of Gemini

could be seen from the levee.

 

Now, they exterminate

our people,

veritas,

our origins

as tornado sirens and

extra-low frequencies still blare

from the factory.

 

The bones of

the liberators

are now visible.
