Detroit


Michigan Theater Detroit

ENGINE OF IMAGES

“And every crevice of the city leaking
Rubble: concrete, conduit, pipe, a crumbling
Rubble of our roots”
—George Oppen
“Image of the Engine”
New Collected Poems

Which is the grainy death of movies. The lost
Glitter of the theaters!   
The endless Hollywood movies!
Seen in all the classic film palaces
And every crevice of the city leaking
Ruins: cinema, balconies, films, crumbling
Rubble of our imagination
