To be said in Sarah Sarai's defense: Please check back later. N.Y.C. Readings in May 2008 Sat., May 10 | Ear Inn Series | 326 Spring St. {west of Greenwich St.} | 3pm Canceled Because of Emergency Construction! Sun., May 18 | Community Garden at 6th St. and Ave. B N.Y.C. Reading in June 2008 Fri., June 13 | Cornelia Street Cafe | w/David Lawton | 29 Cornelia Street {w. 4th/Bleecker} | $7 | limited open mic | 6pm Something's Falling Because, and here’s my point, because now, because loosened by small destructions, because shrapnel of civilization down dizzy slow, because a little hand drowning. Something’s falling. Because empires of our beliefs could inherit us promised days but something’s falling. Now, because we summon armies and thugs unoriginal, barter a future placid for a present spooked, something’s falling because weary apples weary, over and again. Because only history supports as we rant at kids on stick- trembling legs, weep on fallow chests, join neighbors one to a four-cornered sheet stretched to break the inevitable, study a sky’s hindsight: Should it have loosened more rain, moisting drops to shimmer oily in sun, adorned itself nirvanic swim-pool aquamarines it’s marveled over or painted indigo paisleys of a Hindu bride across its breathy canopy? Because what else? Recode the Rosetta of history? Or will love to our ones as cool heat lifts soothing to the viridian moss out of reach but scudding close still, because the drowning little hand, little hand, can touch it. {by Sarah Sarai} & published in The Threepenny Review , Summer 2007 Sarah Sarai has taught Comp. 101 {never 99 or 102.5} or creative writing at BMCC/CUNY, Fordham, Pace, Antioch's Seattle campus…and St. Mathias High School (Southern Cal.).
