July’s Inner Moonlight episode is special. Michelle Nicholson is from New Orleans, and as you’ll hear her say, wherever she goes, there’s New Orleans. We had unexpected rain mid-show; the entire audience helped move indoors. Thanks to The Wild Detectives, to poetry, and to you, faithful reader. 📚✨🌕

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 MagazinePermian 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.
