“I know there is a river somewhere, / lit, fragrant, golden mist, all that”
— Molly Brodak

This poem appeared in The Cipher by Molly Brodak, published by Pleiades Press, 2020. Shared here with deep gratitude.
ALT In the Morning, Before Anything Bad Happens by Molly Brodak The sky is open all the way. Workers upright on the line like spokes. I know there is a river somewhere, lit, fragrant, golden mist, all that, whose irrepressible birds can’t believe their luck this morning and every morning. I let them riot in my mind a few minutes more before the news comes.

The job of the poet...is to be 'a bane to the republic. Because the republic is built on a destruction of language. A kind of obliteration of language that will enable and excuse violence against bodies. My job is to interrogate and agitate that as often as I can.'
