DUANE LOCKE
Terrestrial Illuminations 648

We observed the apparitions in Daguerreotypes, An umber dot on sepia, once a blue eye. She held album on her tanned, cut-off blue jean bared legs. She said, “These smears were once my people.” “The one on the left who has lost his head, now Only a long sharp stiff collar, his tie, a roach stain, Came to see me when I crawled. They said he was a ‘great’ something. He gave me as a gift, his medal awarded him in some war.” He instructed, “Don’t forget, they are still our enemy.” He had been wounded. In one leg, steel instead of bone. “I, too young, to know what he was talking about. Still don’t.” “ I remember being bored, he read a poem by Henry Timrod.” She looked at his arms. His arms were gone. She said to me, “I wonder if he had tattoos.”
