Poetry: Eddy Jordan
Theatre for Realtors
An afternoon for burning, we look
in houses.
A chance to make
some theatre for realtors
we say, realtors
are people too
we think.
We talk
loud, walk wide,
itch our invisible beards together.
What do you think honey?
It’s nice, I mean, but the kitchen?
Kitchens can be redone.
Sure, but—
The lighting is nice.
The lighting is—
& the trees.
Sure.
I like this room here.
Mmm. The windows. It is nice.
We could weep
& weep hard here.
Unfolding Day
Everyday an artist
is unfolding the moon
the wrong way. Some too quietly
& too fast. Some drink
too many calendar landscapes
away and forget when their unfolding
day is. Some grease
up the moon with their
watery food fingers and leave it
all to stains
bleeding clear through the brown
paper bag. Tomorrow
I’ll unfold
the moon and it’ll be just
how mom unfolded me.
