a blackout of houses and memory

Speak in a nonlinear language
about the first flower in earth this season

but how can I forget to mention 
how this land has been cultivated 

with blood and sweat
kisses and hard blows to its guts 

how can I switch the ways 
in which I think, only worry about which flower is first to bloom 

out of the same earth that contains 
the ash that had been once human, lost without question 

with the fever of a thousand houses 
collapsing at once, a blackout of live and memory.
