The journal I purchased I left on
a bus in Beijing
along with my new $35 copy of Empire. What I saw
I see now I must recollect, allow time and memory
the void. White swans. Dragonfly song like cicadas. Detroit.
Where's Iggy's trailer park? Tokyo suburbs manicured.
Lush greens, lakes, kettle ponds, mountains, black-green pine yielding
tundra, gray scraped mountains, glaciers white on black miles thick,
roadless settlements isolate air strips, vast Pacific Ocean.
State-of-the-art Beijing International Airport. |
