Surveyors’ comment in the margins
“ The Administrator’s report, laid down the few clues (some false) that our group relied on to rebuild. After the CCCC…..we were the few alien settlers allowed in to survey, take readings, and reconstruct the flattened hidden fortress on the perimeter of what now; a field like Ostia, the port city that is no more, or Hiroshima turned sideways….an empty quarry ”

Additional Suveyors’ Comments
in the margin of the Administrator’s Report
The Administrator drew lots
Dots and dashes
Equal plots overlaid
He assigned his subjects a bent space
Hollows filled with fresh water
On shouts of recognition
Tidal Pools leaden
Had he wished to speak of love
A Marriage of stone and weather
Rough where they rubbed.
Her wound resurrected that itch.
He says “being fortunate is no laughing matter.
and haste makes waste”
A notation of wood scaffolds lifting ballast
Rope drawn to define what was
Wood piles arresting slumped stones.
Channels for protection.
Campos where no tint of warm light
ever baths the open book.
This allows him solace
This static game
