Eileen Myles - Iyengar II & I, Oct 22

“Nice” - still overrated! Also, I confess, sometimes I read about the weather in my classes, the way you might bring up the weather at a cocktail party…This is not that.

WEATHER

I had already begun

being a woman who lived

mostly alone, going huh

and piping, shuffling

through the rest

of her time. I contain

a running kid, a

green elf. I am

entirely alone. I desire

a certain sports car

a drippy night. Making

hairpin turns

in rome your

face beams

up like a million

jiggling suns.

Do you get it? Go.

what you

know is

true. I am so

long gone

down my

road.
