We’re here, your lost children, listening for a sign – Six poems by Helen Wickes

“Flow back into the veins, History” three poems by Lucia Cupertino
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

CALLING FOR HELP

 

It’s a shame you can’t outlaw language

or license the users. Sometimes

you can choke on words. After dialing for help

you wheeze and pass out on the floor.

 

It happens as you read a letter

that unleashes volatile language into the air.

Help arrives; they break down the door,

 

administer oxygen until you breathe on your own,

astonished and grateful.

You stare in amazement at the passel

of nouns and verbs the med guys dislodge,

 

sharp ones, sweet ones, the barbed, the chewy.

Caught off guard, you get waylaid

by a phrase, slammed by a paragraph.

 

Once there was a woman overwrought

by a herd of adjectives, she became

a deep-sea diver, content in a soundless world

with its visible, palpable eels and stingrays.

 

Just remember, if you call for aid, the guys

will ask were the culprits your own words,

shoving and stampeding in their eagerness

 

to be known, or were they someone else’s,

which you swallowed whole.

You don’t always know, it happens that fast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ABOUT THE POSTCARD ABOVE MY DESK

 

I’m sure it was meant to get me writing,

but I don’t think Mr. Samuel Beckett cares

if another word gets written. He makes me

want to break every pen in the house, put on

a hat, and walk. For years. Until my shoes

 

wear out, until everyone I know has died,

until the world is completely unrecognizable.

I didn’t give him this power. He took it word

by word. I tell him, Look at your funny ears,

your coat’s too big, your hair’s a wreck.

 

Some days I call him Sam, or Monsieur. Or to get

his goat, which someone’s got to do, Macushla,

the Irish for dear, but mostly it’s Beckett.

I like the coldness. And the echo of Peter

O’Toole bowing his head at the altar. Knowing

 

they’re coming to get him. Of course I could

remove the card, but this guy would haunt me

from any drawer or pocket. This character

thinks he runs the show. He stares down,

bemused, unmoved if I read a cheesy magazine

 

or go to the window to mourn the robin’s egg

crushed on the pavement. I tell him the sky

is blue, but what’s a sky to a guy in eternity.

Look at the world you left, old man. We’re here,

your lost children, listening for a sign.

 

 

 

 

 

AFTER THE ANCIENT MARINER IS GONE

 

About that poor wedding guest, what happens next?

Does he shrug and say, Oh, just some local nut

unraveling his yarn at me? Or, as if infected

 

with a disease—not terminal, but a nuisance—

it becomes his suffering; contaminated by that story—

not his story, though now it is—is he condemned

 

to find who will swallow every word? First tries,

his listeners slink away, so failure teaches him

how to milk the subjects, use his eyes to captivate

 

his quarry, use his voice to cage with hypnotically

orchestrated words, slipping so sharp-bladed

through the air, his listeners don’t know

 

what cut them, and he is thrilled to breathe,

for good, for the moment, no matter, free to look

for his other life, the one he left behind.

 

 

 

 

 

SURVIVING SUMMER

 

She’s headed for the Lighthouse, he is sunk

deep into Proust, she perfects the peach crumble,

he acquires an iPad, she dallies in Dalloway,

he’s thick with Marcel, weathering the storms

of Albertine, grieving for Swann. Zucchini’s a bust,

rotty from fog. Someone is shot across the street.

 

He pays his bills, tells her to count her pills, she

ignores her bills and pills. She gladly flails

the waters of Poldy and Stephen, he’s down home

with Siegfried, Mime, and that loud lady who’s,

oh God, taken over the house; someone else shot

around the corner, roses mewling from said fog,

 

door lock broken, faucets dripping, helicopters

wupwupping overhead, standing still in space,

small piece of the sky, late afternoon, meaning, yes—

another bad guy afoot. She wants Stephen to sober up,

find a place to call home. Crappy gardenia a goner,

sulked its five years. He’s thick with Shostakovich,

 

obsessed with recipes for cacio i pepe. She wants

Poldy and Molly to enjoy their years. She’s got

her Racing Form—ninth at Saratoga—the fave’s

a bust, hankers for the trail up to Winnemucca,

where she hauls her old body through the forest,

up the mountain, to the water, long as life allows.

 

 

 

 

 

TRANSIT OF MERCURY

 

That little-guy planet crossing the sun today,

invisible to the, what they call, naked eye,

so you get the apparatus to keep blindness

at bay, or better still, set loose your imagining

of what’s out there

 

hurtling through space,

though also through human time, while you

huddle on the BART train, your fellow peeps

loud, troubled, troubling—so many of us

are outliers—then trudging home, the cop car

edging along. Space-time,

 

Mr. Einstein, we’re working it out,

not always well, so back to you, Brother Mercury,

you spilled and poisonous magnificence

from the broken thermometer, teasing your way

through droplets of slinky meanderings,

but then here’s also to you,

 

dapper little god of messages, parlaying

your all into heritage and glory, you fast dude

on the medicine labels, with your winged feet

and hat, live on, small wonder, keep it going.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cattails in Sheep Canyon

 

Flick sharply on the shells,

and the cottony insides come flying,

so much packed in, eager to be freed

from the casings, a gossamer filament cloud mass

of soft-spun seed stuff. There’s an explosion,

a quiet one, and what’s released—

slow-sifting, too fine for gathering,

but alive, most definitely alive.

 

Other things impinge—that one who died

by his own hand, the other who overdosed—

but with cattails, rattling in hot wind,

it’s impossible to not be present,

opening one, another—temporary midwife

at the willow marsh, Coyote Creek, north fork,

alone, in March, eastern San Diego County—

 

charged with sending this dream fluff

pouring aloft, as if it had all day,

which it does, to rise above cottonwood

and smoke tree—anonymous, precise,

finite—to float toward Mexico

or cross the mountains to Indio.

Pray it finds water to set down roots.

 

 

Helen Wickes is the author of four books of poetry: In Search of Landscape, Sixteen Rivers Press, 2007; Moon over Zabriskie and Dowser’s Apprentice, both from Glass Lyre Press, 2014; World as You Left It, Sixteen Rivers Press, 2015.
