...two arrows
by a house
in the deep
chasm of granite
wide meadows glacial
erratics
talus
grey live-
oaks
stiff
brush
straight
pines
where lives an old man
who is Pahn's instuctor One arrow
has an orange
square
edge one arrow
is cylindrical
with three feathers Pahn
has a bow and goes out to shoot though
he worries the old man
might not approve A car
comes up and
Pahn hides from the Cadillac people
concealing
the old man’s sacred
arrows safe
by a house
in the deep
chasm of granite
wide meadows glacial
erratics
talus
grey live-
oaks
stiff
brush
straight
pines
where lives an old man
who is Pahn's instuctor One arrow
has an orange
square
edge one arrow
is cylindrical
with three feathers Pahn
has a bow and goes out to shoot though
he worries the old man
might not approve A car
comes up and
Pahn hides from the Cadillac people
concealing
the old man’s sacred
arrows safe
Inside
Pahn eats chocolate-
chip enchiladas and resting an earthquake
waves long
strong even
It is a rolling changer of scenes…
…Wayland arrives
and he and Pahn head home they
drive the desiccated remnants
of outwash turmoil
in a blue bus through
a geology
of eruptions
landslides
speeders
and missiles
peril
There are people
in trances
woolen blankets turquoise passing
the blue bus There is a long
steep
hill that greens
as the vehicle climbs
and a couple wearing deerskin
robes walking arms out turns to embrace knowing
Pahn and Wayland
will be safe…
…the lowlands
of walnut orchards and fast-food
ripple like fat on a dog and
they are welcomed
to the cardboard restaurant
and delivered
to a man with a stick
This man hits them many times
until
finally Pahn breaks his stick
Wayland approves…
…in a candy store
Hehrmess takes a giant dessert
in a candy store
Pahn buys a lot of chocolate
chocolate relish
Wayland buys rocks for his turtle
Pahn eats them crumbly…
…the old man Pahn's instructor rolls him on his rug
Pahn is sick he needs to be made well
The old man massages Pahn’s back…
