Center of the Universe, Next to the Parking Garage,
on the Pedestrian Bridge Between Archer St. & First St., Tulsa, Oklahoma

                       

After “Artificial Cloud" by Bob Hazous


​
​

Single iron cloud
rusting in its tree
above the city.

Look—tiny airplanes
tumble from the sky.
All the universe is pattern

& disruption. Step
here. Say anything.
Listen for the echo

that only you can hear.
A metal-rimmed voice
beckons from

a future we didn’t
create—open
the door. The sky
will catch you.
