gutter legends
the map of gutters marks unmentionable absence
in ranks of opening
six feet broad and 10 inches high
an entry to residence except for sudden eviction
tiny grates that clog and moss
small enough to filter butts and litter
sinkholes that drop into leached ground
tipping the surface with them
the myriad pumps that drain millenial Oglalla
subsistence sea and finish in vapor, like desert clouds
the sideways drill casings of Texas
that change running under from water to money
the caverns of Vegas with indigent paintings
watermarked with flashes and function, as it was
