The Cemetary

 City high-rises loom like gravestones
against an August moon blasting radio tunes
off teeth of the Sierra Nevada.

Geek and Dork drive Eighty into San Francisco Bay
crossing bridges, waiting for the next quake
along the faults of saints.

Neither felt a river move until one night
a skylight fell during a long slide show
of mythic meteors.

It was love at first shake and ever since
they’ve been looking for repeats

in syndication.
