I’ve always wanted to yell, ‘My leg!
My leg!’ after a great accident.
In this fantasy I am myself
but also an old man in a golfing costume
walking alone down a country road –
distracted by the slightly annoying and toxic
first green of spring, eyes overflowing
with the high-pitched, adolescent hum
that oft accompanies my idleness –
when a large branch topples down on me.
Before this happens I am thinking of you,
so in a sense you are the true accident.
‘Crushed again!’ I moan to no one
down in the dirt
The ditch, she comforts me,
her pocked surface a trove for sight.
