THE REMAIN The longer the building remains the blurrier the memory sculpts Only variations remain once in a while, rivers, always joggers, ups and downs The remain of the city eats buildings out, and converts residents and besties to skylines. The city is too full to preserve my body In order to build assets in my womb, I hang in the street and shadow the city. I don't know how to deal with uncertainty, yet my routine sculpts a route between new architectures, old temperatures.

"I sit outside in the weather / and listen for languages,' william erickson tells us. These poems are the result of that listening. In the poet's body, languages build up, until they emerge dense and potent in structures so quiet, so devastating, so multidimensional that readers reel in slow-mo from one delicious soft shock to another. The speaker's body extends into the landscape, and/ or the landscape furnishes parts of the ongoing, changing body, 'folding into earth like an unblooming apple. These poems are hauntings, too; we will want and need to keep returning to them, will carry them with u1S in mutual inhabitation. 'Ghosts are just bodies too great to keep hidden inside.' We are lucky to accompany erickson on his world- and word-making journeys, where [o]n the lip of the desert / [his] tongues pile up,' and so do ours." jay besemer, author of your tongue is as long as a tuesday
