Snowfall by Jon Davis
Yesterday’s snow falling again and already. Falling steadily among the vowels, the tall consonants. Alertnesses scumbling among the cabbages. The eyebrowed jay named by a man named for a star. Stellar’s. When I say the word the pleasure happens on my palate and I am never the same person again. Smoke. Granular. Piñon. Clouds slumping into the valleys. The idea of snow. The actual idea. On the snow-encrypted branches: bird-skitter. Then bird.

Q: What do you think makes you sexy? VM: I don't really know how to deal with that question. I'm sure there are just as many people who think I'm a grizzled hack. Q: I guess Brad Pitt's the pretty boy type of hunk and you're the, you know ... VM: ... the grizzled hack version? Do you think we should play brothers or something? Q: You should. VM: Or lovers? Q: Maybe lovers. Yeah. VM: You think people would pay to see that? |
