POINT LOBOS SEA POEM
FOR MATT’S 42nd BIRTHDAY
SAN FRANCISCO
Taking the 38 Geary Fort
Miley and getting off
at Point Lobos cliff
The Great Highway begins
I think of you within the stunning
play of light crisscrossing
my breath water
imparts information

other men greet me
we greet everybody

miriam halliday borkowski | the drunk’s wife leaving the city

THE DRUNK’S WIFE LEAVING THE CITY
In the immense silence
I am dissolving
I cannot keep the gauze
from my eyes
I take the charged sun
into my stomach
for anybody
the generations
and the generations
will have to do it
for themselves
I am unowned
completely surrendered
to inertia
lolling lethargy
aware of the integrity
in each drop of whiskey
not interested
in pretending
that I am not drunk
intensely hunkered down
within slabs of indecency
quietly [...]

miriam halliday borkowski | sleeping under giants in a cazadero forest

SLEEPING UNDER GIANTS IN A CAZADERO FOREST
“Sharing the water that
no one could ever own”
the geography could eat me!
could eat you! but
earth eros is conscious

it was night—
remember
until my eyes adjusted
the dark obscured their height
i arrived at 11 o’clock
walked past silent tents
some people in a
building still up farther off
i made my way [...]
