Dust off Your Lips, a poem by Travis Catsull
It’s morning in Texas
& deer bones
thaw in the ditch
grapefruit rot on the table
& it pours on the tin
propped against the barn
suddenly water
covers the road
in heavy puddles
& we are praying
& praying so
damn loud
we pray
for bigger mouths
Travis Catsull, from Year of the Girl
Other books by Catsull include Open Spirit and Isle of Asphalt from Effing Press in Austin. Catsull is the editor/founder of Haggard and Halloo and co-founder of The Charles Potts Magic Windmill Band Which won the Austin Chronicle’s choral CD of the year award in 2008 for The Golden Calves.
