Eucalyptus: poems

by Josh Hanson

QUARRYThings get there's dustOn everything, the stone that isThe Earth is broken, and broken,The lodestone of the North pullsMy mineral blood, not to completionBut, just as final, to the breaking.Night is an accident, spray of starsDusting the shadow of unseen poles;You can hear it dissolve, the leafThat turns the light to green fuelAnd tumbles, the radio's noiseLike sand between the stones, stonesThat rise between tree-roots and breakThe the earth is worn to nothingAnd keeps on rising all the same.
