Sitting On My Hair
for Adam Zagajewski,
Lucie Brock-Broido & Derek Walcott

you set off, set on the blender
when all you want in it has been added

after milk or juice has been added
and let it wurr churn swirl
until it is all one consistent thickness

Walcott’s poetry is like this, is made like this
for some, hold your glasses
