CURTAIN CARDS

SHOWER CURTAIN CARDS

BEGIN a new line in witness

for those attending weekly ICE

flights out of Yakima. Weather

this morning, warm, no wind,

while six gathered behind

the Shower Curtain turned Sign

while chained asylum seekers

board Swift Air's weekly

Deportation Flight. Flower

blossoms embroidered on cloth

might be military insignia's

on hats of officers. Here,

The Temple of the Yellow Rectangle

and Chain-link Fence, one witness

calls them God Spot Threads,

Flowers of Trembling Beauty

confronting all that refuses to be disappeared.
