In June I'll change my tune

I slept nine or ten hours in the windowless pit of the guest room and woke to the news from selkie about Sandy Irvine's boot. "I mean, dude . . . there's a label on it."

(I wrote a poem once out of a dream in which the photographer of a touring theater company in Faerie was George Mallory, still using the camera he had died carrying, which has not yet floated up out of the ice.)

The boot has a foot in it. Not, you know, part of Mr. Irving's remains, but "a foot". I don't know why that is impactifying me but it is.

Remains are impersonal. People have feet.
