Trip-Hammer Vitality

by Lisa Nickerson

"Stammering is the native eloquence of us fog people."

for Anais, June & Henry

inside the fog, gods unroll their holy tongues
across the Hudson lapping Manhattan

and eventually it will rain.  the poets poem the clear drops
running off the frizzled curls of downtown taxi girls
and the girls rain time in lovestorms their kissclocks chime
with dime-a-dance dance tickets clicking anklestrapheels on
early morning ball-room tile while workmen pull pocket-watches
from their rippedpantspockets hurrying to their jobs high
on the scaffolding building hardfruit
