anorthosite from ampersand by joseph biss

we like to have fun around here
no one is going to do it for us
trees growing from the roofs of project housing
for the concrete and litter took all the space down at ground level
observation of Bronx razor wire
observation of Bronx razor wire

from the 95 supportive chain link fences
holding the bedrock there for safe keeping
past the monroe alley bridge
see a single blade from ceiling fan hogging what’s left of the shoulder
left to queens right homewards albany
left to queens right homewards albany

meandering our way back upstate
north of the capital region
or surely it doesn’t count
empire title died as the Adirondacks weathered down
sharing makeup with the moon
longing loudly, meet that fate soon
