"Zerogarden" by Andrew Zawacki

Within the horizon of gabardine

hills, raku-


fired as if forged in the kiln

of georgic Georgia mid-

July, the trees halloo Tallulah

Gorge, velarium & an event in

themselves, gouged by blunt per

-sephones of crimson & of green —gren -ache, wasabi, hen -na, Fanta, ferric, gren -adine—

& a few miles south

off 328, in Tugaloo State Park,

a beach that shouldn't

be there         is, the lake now

8 feet low, & fishing lures


& sinkers & bobbers are

snagged on roots of the

oak've eroded, & mica

speckling reddish clay where

one can walk beneath an

orphaned dock

are a trillion mini

mirrors among the mullions


composing, composting the bank,

to show the singular, macular

sun what it looks like—severally
