in the dream
a clown asked me a question
I asked /it/ a question in return
neither of us had an answer...
two questions put into the urn
The urn of the past
On a decrepit mantle
Scintillating piece
Shines brightly in the moonlight
Telling of its demeanor
Russell Sivey
ashes in an urn
a lovely new urn
whose ashes are they
who was burned that day
what races
what religions
what sexes
what nationalities
maybe they’re all mixed in
ashes indistinguishable and
undiscriminating in one
could there be hope
this urn
beside the sun
golden like the moon
old moon’s teeth sparking
some slow white light
rusting & fresh
old careless bin
beside the mid-day sun
in a century
of some thunder-stormy years
a-waft in a forest
of a billion breathes
the eye twists her bright-set
urge
upon
thine dim’d old bloom
ah, rusting & fresh being!

Suzy Baker was genuine white trash
Scorning fiercely, her teeth ready to flash.
Fending her homemade trailer park jungle
Dodging her dark and imminent funeral!
Lucy Walker was a pretty lady
Smiling friendly her lips always ready,
Living quiet in lovely suburbia
Meeting non-whites with xenophobia.
Why did the potter create them this way?
Was it because there were two types of clay?
One forged as a Cistern the next as an Urn
And exactly whom should this mess concern?
