Untitled by David Caddy

After Untitled Landscape by Michelle Noteboom

Drift in the counter direction and it feels like hail
sweeping over the hills and pounding on your door

when you wastrel, you cannot look down shafts of
wormholes and don’t see the marauding earwigs

centipedes and dung beetles congregating by your step
and foot stool. Look at those events, births and deaths,

luncheons, not as inconsequential to your employment,
to your devotion to history, to three dimensional

coordinates, line and volume, the fallacies of
Cartesian logic and universal growth, rather

as subtle gestures and impulses for oncoming
meteors, cooling stars extra solar activity.

Hey David

Sorry I altered your tag line, but the tag should be YOUR TITLE by YOU or YOUR INITIALS then the first line should start "After THEIR TITLE by THEIR NAME" and if possible the internal link to their poem. So I added this for you and Michelle.

I also added labels so that both you as a label and her reworded comes up.

Hope this is ok. Thanks for rewording, even in all the pain you are in!!!

Bises, Jen
