\nHowie Good, August 2009<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong>A dot of blood where the sun should be.
\n\u201cI\u2019ve nothing to say about it,\u201d my heart said.<\/p>\n

Trees in full leaf haunted
\nthe highway for miles,<\/p>\n

millions of dimly veined hands
\nreaching out as if begging forgiveness,<\/p>\n

or offering it \u2013<\/p>\n

but, of course, I\u2019ve made mistaken inferences
\nfrom vague gestures before.<\/p>\n

At the border the guard told me to pop the trunk.
\nMy heart rattled<\/p>\n

like a plastic bottle of small, white pills.
\nIt was then the evening returned with two guns<\/p>\n

and started shooting.<\/p>\n
