‘I don’t know these people and they aren’t my flowers’

Brautigan In watermelon Sugar

Growing up around my Father’s photography books of mostly beautiful women and war

Including Cowboy Kate getting naked in nature

I tracked the book down in the rare books room of the british library

I’LL AFFECT YOU SLOWLY

I’ll affect you slowly
as if you were having
a picnic in a dream.
There will be no ants.
It won’t rain.

FINDING IS LOSING SOMETHING ELSE

Finding is losing something else.
I think about, perhaps even mourn,
what I lost to find this.
