Three Conversations with the Apparition of Vallejo
by James McCorkle
October 16, 2024
Last night I was certain
pppyou were there with a gift
light balanced against shadow

fugitives move along fence lines
cities burningppp
we’re asked to send money
cities burn
where are the plans
there were no bells, no sirens, no warningpppthe cities burned

Flattened stone floor, covered
in wooden slats, the portico
with columns and even arches,
not exactly the porch
the other house (our same floor
plan doubled into something else)
had across our common grass.

When what was sensed but veiled yesterday is suddenly revealed today, it is, in the smallest way, a faith realized.
