AUSTIN DAVIS READS
Flying Home From Indiana After Driving
Past the KKK House in Irvington 
FROM
SECOND CIVIL WAR


Flying Home From Indiana After Driving Past the KKK House in Irvington
 
I want to tell you it’s comforting
to cry your eyes out on an airplane
because the jet turbines to your left
and the raindrops beating against the window
make your tears sound faraway,
 
but I feel like a birthday party clown
smoking a cigarette in the alley outside the bar
who just popped his colored balloons,
becoming one with the soft September night
with the orange embers falling into the dark.
 
The family in the row behind me puts their heads down,
afraid that empathy is a disease they might catch,
that maybe if they just look away for long enough
my tears won’t consolidate into the Blob from 1958
and eat them like angsty teens. I want to shut the fuck up
 
and stare with a poorly painted mask
into the purple clouds, but I can’t seem to forget
about the brick path in the back of my nightmare.
 
The one that curves down the hill
past the long white house
into infinite nothingness -
the woods, the grass, the primroses
with their heads cut off.
