I immediately thought of this FB post from our time in the foxhole together in 2012 💀

Tremendously grateful to the Nasher Sculpture Center for publishing my poem “Permian Sea” in their Fall 2023 magazine! This piece is from my book, Welcome to Midland, available from @deepvellum.bsky.social 🤩✨💛
The cover of the Fall 2023 Nasher Magazine Permian Sea My father told me once all this desert was vast inland sea: all mollusks and trilobites, amphibians bigger than my imagination. He pointed westward, explained the Guadalupe Mountains are an enormous ancient reef. All this, he said, everything was water. Then the sea stagnated, temperature skyrocketed, acid rained from the sky, everything died: the most massive extinction in recorded history. All those fossils, oil now. Of course. I was born here, to the pasture, spiny mesquites, cracked red earth. I imagined being born underwater, born a suggestion of what’s to come, something so basic it could survive when earth starts over, a nautilus, maybe, all tentacles, no memory. I dreamed of it, the sea before its horrific death, before millions of years sun blazed over lifeless desert. Sometimes, waking I thought I heard the waves.
