​Poetry

​on a farm in brownsville

D. Ellis Phelps

“In 2009, the Department of Homeland Security
informed landowners along the northern edge of the
Rio Grande that the new border fence would be cutting
through their properties.”
 

Texas Monthly, 2011

​rust colored steel
cuts through
 
melon & mesquite
 
chops this land in half
 
where hundred year-old oaks
were felled       in the weld
 
security      unsecured
 
from this landowners porch:
 
no more pastoral view
no more free passage
from pasture to pasture
 
where he and his father
and his father before him
 
who came:  chasing the dream
 
grew cotton and corn
sorghum and cane
 
for a hundred years
& more
 
now      this farmer
             who feeds us
 
must ask    permission
to pass       from one piece
of his own land
 
to another

So we travel on earth seeking the terrain of Poetry, walking through wilderness and empty landscape or visiting those ancient sites like Dholavira in far-western Gujarat, or Mykenai in the Greek Peloponnese, or the Arawak campsite on eastern Carriacou in the Grenadine Windward Isles, pursuing that authenticity of experience in a form of antique material reality...

These are places, strange and vague situations where death is manifold and thoroughly extant to the careful eye. There are women’s bangles made of shell to be picked up from the saline dust or small copper beads and thin chert blades, or tiny obsidian arrow-heads that can be unhidden and disclosed beneath those bloody grey walls about the Lion Gate, or beautiful indented potsherds and ceramic fragments at the waterline where the Atlantic rolls out its long blue visceral waves...

Wherever you stand
be the soul of that place.
