The Modernization Process Has Begun
Don Pomerantz
Hebrew alphabet garden
on the outskirts of the sun
clocks in reverse
the desert is in remission
jungles now gone halcyon
myth birds swarm
like oceans of haloed hair
whose fluffed
encapsulations burst
inside the bedroom
window glass
the wheels of your eyes
spin us through foreign languages
gone backwards
daylight breaks out all over us
about to speak first words
