Pennsy-Cali Breakdown
trees in california on fire,
their halo of sparks becoming
the swarm of lightning bugs in this yard,
if they all lit at once
you,
compressed between the san andreas fault
and the pacific ocean
me,
straddling the rolling western reaches
of the appalachian chain
it's no one's fault
we cannot reach each other
even with
the choked smoke signals of burning palms,
the flashed morse code of lightning bugs
