WING SOUNDS

wing sounds

we peed hot on the shoulder of the highway 

screamed into the overhead airplane engine thrust 

a flock of geese gave us their wing sounds over and over

the tiny springs of their flight muscles rubbing the sky 

factory smooth 

the beaver stick came down the river like rice  

front tooth marks solved the trouble of wood

we made five goblets in the hovel turned 

light-spanked home 

we floated and held small stones in our mouths

still warm from the sun

materials: river water and stones, beaver sticks, constellating conversations, adhd panic, queer desire, clay, poems, tears

in an exploration of grief and desire - we set up our wee goblet factory along the banks of the Sandy River - surrounded by books and poems about water, earth, longing and grief
