Whale light
the mad will render
a great green whale
into oil
the tongue of a whale
comes to dance
late and weary

Pilgrimage
I lie alone, mind on her face.
In the church chancel, the mouth of a whale,
bigger than bad weather.
I keep myself in the open,
wake to piss.
Unnatural History Museum
pressed under glass
the last goldfinch whistle
slowly solidifies
into earwax
untroubled by looters
who choose flashier artifacts
from this dilapidated museum
close to closing time
in one diorama the leaves
are already withering
in another, farmers turn played-out
soil toward the sun
which is kept in a separate
display case on the mezzanine
right above the blowhole
of a great blue whale
