Geography: Road to Akureyri
Alexandra Mattrawash mountain what cannot be
literally soiled
of the heart-
red shrubs spread sponges wet hillsides hug the
yellowing
green mosses
or warehouses
sulfur
hay, raw meat, skeletal trees barely curdle the small town
so sepulchral in sound
wired lava stilled
beyond the civilized
one body for another
rain once under sea
