NEED TO NEST AWAY — IN THE WOODS

whatisourlegalname
Con/Jur/d, 5/4/2025

mordantly damp
Spring morning
dreamed of restarting
borrowing a van from
our first co-crazy
intimate, who we haven't 
seen for over 20 years
to move our daughter
to a house our second
wife is putting together
in San Francisco
all tech bro modern
in the front and Armistead
Maupin, in the back

and, of course, we were
discussing, how she 
would afford it, it being
far less forgiving than
40 years ago, when we
first landed, and it was
tricky then, trickier now
all those Spring beginnings
endings, trickling from
day residue damp, forming
drops, flowing into rivulets
and finally, TORRENTS
sweeping away the veneer
of self, the stories we
tell of who we are
how we got here
and we awoke, still
partially flooded, Eleanor
was inquiring, via text
what my name was, so 
she could send me a promised
book, from the UK, where
according to her, the Post-
Persons, in order to reduce
the DELUGE of mail, successfully
reroute its tributaries, and
deliver it, needed a name

Having just returned from 
the Land of the Nameless
where ‘we’ was understood
and ‘I,’ was just a passing fancy
a coordinate rather than a
DESTINATION, was confused

whatisourlegalname?
who did it inform and
what would they do
with this information? 
was it like your astrology, 
where the correct answer, 
if asked, ‘what's your sign, BABY?’
is  why do YOU want 
to know? Is there a
reason you want to 
reduce our

MULTIPLICITY to 
a singular, sippable
drink? What thirst are you
trying to quench? and as
last night's storm, became
dawn drips, we remembered
naming makes it easier for
wisdom to be delivered
from afar.

TOO MUCH OF THIS

NOT ENOUGH OF THIS

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT ONLY QOBUZ — ALSO THE NEW WATERBOY’S ALBUM ‘DENNIS HOPPER’

MORE FROM THE WOOD

SONGS FROM THE WOODS

Much love,
