Savannah Geometrics

Giraffinous and reedy, in every waterway
and bank account some things forget

to clink, to celebrate their way out, drawn up
hallowed flyovers, icy gloss-overs

zebratic tinkle and late-era large tumblers
in red cars preening cellular to the dance

shops: linking this urine sample to every other
piece of African corporate art you are

tortured by. These Kilimanjaros crease
your memory to opacity, stretching the covers

like blow pipes into legs over the red chairs
in a dream, a dream of exile’s cabins

antlers from grocery store planted to your
forehead. The view from the porch elongated
