Howie Good - One Poem

Everything Reminds Me of Me

oil fires,
arranged marriages,

the phone calls
transcribed

by the secret police,
Scott in the Garden

of Allah Hotel
mailing a postcard

to himself,
the daub of red

at the tip
of a seagull’s beak,

my dead mother
on the corner

waving goodbye,
goodbye, goodbye,

her face splotched
where the first few raindrops

have touched it.
