Denis Robillard

Pine Creek Clocks, c.1982

In a far off place I hear dueling clocks

in a room on a ranch

The burdens of the day lie deep and heavy

inside the entrails of these clocks.

Breathing, expanding,

exhorting themselves in slingshot time.

Above the scene a gun totting Brautigan

takes pot shots at these dueling clocks,

Poem bullets splitting targets

like rotten logs,

mind dangling metaphors

splitting amnesiac veil of booze

trying to find another blackberry motorboat,

or watermelon waterfall trapped underneath.

Next Poem
