Fantasy/Sci-Fi
Laura Kasischke
The broom closet to another planet.
The children in their maniac（发狂的）
trances（恍惚，出神）. The rockets.
The neighbors. The
openmouthed spectators. The boy
tumbling into the bottomless well.
There, the cornstalks（玉米秆）. The rooster
at the center of the earth.
And also on Mars.
And the plain voice
in the middle of the night
on that long drive through Nebraska.
You just kept driving. What
else could you do? Slow down?
And your father who made you
by spilling his billion stars into the dark, while
crying out to your mother
as the sea washed her up on the shore
in the 1960s
with her long hair and her
vegetable recipes. And
you, small package of meat and dream.
And Beethoven, who lived
and died
deaf. Music.
Oblivion.
The kitten
named Sally, alive
for an hour. Then
dead, forever.
Dead forever.
Nowhere, the beginning.
Nowhere, the end.
Like ours, her eyes
never even opened. Like
her, do we
have any idea
where we are?
Where we were?
Where we're going?
Even yesterday?
Even today.
