Improv. 3 (Week 10)



This improv was off of Robert Hass' "Meditation at Lagunitas" Something about how he manages to navigate the big picture with these small details interested me, so i wanted to try something similar.


To you, she may be Mary Pre-Jesus.
A poison butterfly drizzling
Its scales over the pits
of your stomach every time you mustered
goodbye after church.
Realize that while she may be a singer her laugh
Was the sweet mosaic of two rain showers
on opposite ends of the earth
tapping the concrete in unison.
Could you have unshakable faith in that?
The beads of sands that skirt
Around the palms of our feet while
dancing in the middle of the desert.
Is that too sacrilegious of a view
of the person who makes people buckle
their knees under the weight of her voice?
how she has you feeling like your heart
is a Volkswagen sized artery pinched with pinpricks
leaking reasons to restore your faith.
Do you know about dialtones?
How instead of signifying end calls,
they’re excuses to bellow
attempts to close the distance.
How she’s beautiful,
Like 6 willows branches bending their heads in unison.
