identity trip
now recitation
community
conjoined
multitudes of inter-connections
to different pasts
and always years of wandering
watching Prunella immaculata
above head
rotate perch
and take flight
to another
close tall tree
and then again
to the one across the path
(pawl-OH-nee-ah toe-men-TOE-sah)
I alone in the snow dusted opening
er she chi off in the distance
an annamite striped crests the hill
outpouring after it
appear
hundreds more
and strike drill pose
harmless at first
and thought of collecting them all
a warm fire
would...
and considered again
the foolish notion
like a potion to disappear
and reappear years later
in a nature reserve in Laos
let's take this shape now
and begin again the process
of identification
recitation
of kingdom down to genus
sole surviving species
in mirror ages
matching
the passage of history in curves
four of space and three of time
accounts
extant
next and
lexicographic
hand cranked
mimeographs
scatter
discrete memoirs
the lost packing material
seeds spread
on railroad tracks and
the next thing
ending with the next thing
