JACKSON POLLOCK'S DEEP WATER HORIZON DREAM

by Alan Catlin

"the future is oil and gas"

After the blow out,
a metallic spray of
color: burnt manganese,
rust sheeting, black
dollops of oil with an
overlay of fire spread
on a liquid surface; pure
undulate # 9.
In the morning, twin rainbows
of hydrocarbons and gasoline,
a deep water horizon that
has no future in it.


Alan Catlin has published numerous chapbooks and full length books of poetry and prose. Pygmy Forest Press is publishing the collected "Deep Water Horizon" poems.
