hinzadw – Page 18 – sunrise in a small city

10-d 3-a here

is place somewhere
to go around under fly over
but never casually pass through

not an interstate highway tunnel entrance at sunrise — (in 1977 many fells point properties needed to connect i-83 with i-95 were un-condemned)

floating compressed

precisely positioned stress
randomly self-assembled
sailing in sun
launching out dark
feeding on rusted green leaves
steeling into bright colors
swarming frenzied flight of logic

easy landing at sunrise — (the maryland academy of sciences moved to the inner harbor in 1976, becoming the maryland science center—kenneth snelson installed easy landing in 1977-78)

to danmark

some days
we fly in time
yellow-eyed falcons soaring through high top-gallants
close and open close and open in oceans embrace
wash the knife
do not forget

harbor reflection at sunrise — (eight tall ships sailed into the inner harbor in 1776)

fields of ore
slowly rain down coked solar fire updraft
roaring chamber explosion music
softening
exhaling
pooling separate
bleeding trickle into veins
tendriling opiate through biomass
automatrons harvest
feeding engineerimmortal dreams

former steel mill at sunrise — (the 32-story l-blast furnace at sparrows point started operating in 1975—and was demolished in 2015)

in the basis of data available

voices in lines of chairs in a hall
marching steps through a street
signs in a square
electron magnetic moments
disorient and fade in random city
wanting electricity
sustained and renewed
in extradimensional grid of passion

high school at sunrise — (in 1974 many patterson high students and parents protested for the school to remain comprehensive, rather than become a construction trade magnet)

cry against it

city surrounding swelters
mortar dissolving into sand
forests invade with worms
growing and burning in season
one great endless vessel
emerges from evaporating rain
words oscillate
but only fiery emptiness
makes peace

cemetary with playground at sunrise — (jonah house was established in west baltimore in 1973 and is now resourced on moreland avenue)

not building one-piece

working in boilers belts furnaces smelters stampers
radical atoms
sweating out working through
until electricity whines
grunching louder minute by minute days weeks months
working where
why know-why
surfacing over deepwater and flats sounding mosquito-like
around missing floating city
fishing away compression pain
mind access
radio signals eternity

warehouse parking lot at sunrise — (the american standard plumbing manufacturing plant in canton closed in 1972)

anisotropy

herstory swirls spirals twists
plasma oscillating
restoring force
dark energy matter

free clinic at sunrise — (the womens union formed in 1972, resourced from the peoples free medical clinic on greenmount avenue and partly inspired by women: a journal of liberation)

map cough and cover

blue veins on paper
oxygenating
crisscrossing
connecting
oiled tar concrete on green hills silver water
carbonating
separating
momentumous

interchange at sunrise — (interstate 95 between baltimore and dc opened in 1971)

re dei cavoli

i approach one hundred years
every breath aching deathfear
childhood voices roomshadows
uncompleted tasks waft and drip
raining pain with phantom.
I think of one gold banana on a mountain of green on pubbys truck
childlegs hoist and clamor
thrillingest fruit ever
ecstasy sweat satiate blood sweet oppression
sunsaliva oceanrainteeth fleshstomach
pubby screams testa di cavoli i flee
thieving
finally punished with burr in toe
pubbys evening silence.
or am I punished
or do millions die brutally
irrigare le banana

south locust point at sunrise — (in 1970 the port authority purchased south locust point facilities owned by b&o and operated by the united fruit company)
