A creation

Whenever did I explode
And fragment over
The Green plastic coverings 
Of electric monstrosities

Their censored mugs are most displeasing 
But most displacing is their queasy ernestness
Attempting validation
This must be god and his creation

Silken sulk

You're a blood cloud
Blistering the water
That's a bomb in the eye
Of higher interests 

The fog ceiling sent its petty Mistress 
to guide
But She died

Sharks are tears tearing at her face
Splitting open new waters 
Crisp about them; brisk gait
And still transmutation doesn't sate
The sulk of saltwater thirst

Red breaks on the waves 
As the sun sets on silky days
Slipping undertide

A-burning

If I'll to-be a burning
Then I'll to-walk away
No one can stop me
The ropes are to-char
And then where'll I to-be

I a-take the step
To un-sheathe the wreath
To stand-under my steps
I stand a-top a funeral pyre
But the step is all a-took

To-take I am all falling
Full-gracing gardens of red
And the flowers folded in the wood
And now am I to-dead

Bein sicks

Will he get to move on soon?
Using a sextant 
When a conversation would do
Would devil you! , or something
--He said it under his breath--

Will I get to move one by noon
It's a game, right?
And all this winter morning won 
To the softest mooring 
Which is waste
Just waste

When On top of speeding rockets
Moves pieces like tectonics
Telephonic impressions rippling 
Through a gamey, heady medium 

Valentine's eyes

Here's the microcosm of eyes
Two eyes
Scoring the golden ratio
Into the rationed moment
Of their mind

Here's the play of eyes 
Two eyes 
Pausing to place the purpose of their glide
Across the room

Here's that huge figure 
Slight to touch
Sliced and suched 
To fit the form of eyes 
Like they could even mean it

Passing trains

Trains always pass each other at the same time
In that I've never seen one pass without another train there
To pass from
I think they were born this way
Tinkerers planning the cruelest jokes
Decided that every train should know 
The separation at each fleeting sight
That they should see but never enjoy
Their brethren company
Until the day they might decide
To horrify
To spoil
To choke

Death of dying

If all the councils craved 
Their death to speak
Then speaking might as well be craved
If ever there were a processed progress made
It may have been bade 
Only by the death of dying

She gazed

Stargazer pinholes
Poked with a purple crayon
On a ruled-line page
That purposes some fate 
Dramatically unexpected

What she sees 
Can only stand
And return looks

She expected the world,
Or worlds, rather, above
But when she gazes 
She is revoked 
In ruled-line page and purple crayon

Off step

On tip-toe 
On points and needles
On my way
And otherwise ready 

Slipping the stepping
On plate-glass fractures
On lead-glass statures
On slackened legs
Slickened with blood

An otherwise steady
On dialed tones 
On dialysis moans
On my way out

Ferns never die

Ferns never die 
This wind wakens over the hill
These swords surround me
Rustling

Ferns never die
This wind wakens my chords
As they wakened his
Our order glory sets around me
Sterling

Ferns never die
His wind wakens sputters of breath
Sends the sacred sort of red oil
Barely Pounding 

I've never seen a fern die
I've never seen on born
They live in how a forest needs them
How I need him
Need his story

5th the 30

A jittered strike
And out on a bike 
It's a pout on route 
And about time 
To fly on the rolling 

There wouldn't be anything else
To say
There wouldn't be another door
When we all turn into something

I am something already
Yet something new
Anybody is 
Something else 
It's about time
To fly on the rolling

That's all folks 
We've cleared academy
But its empty halls
Do not hum anymore

A vigored smite 
And we well as might 
Make back the meat to spend
To roll and to rosy 
And to fly on the rollings

4/30

I walk the road back 
The one I took at breakneck speed
In last night's sleeping memories

It lights on the day 
As the road paths to dirt
And we hike through the tall grass
Sloping upward 
Into different gravities

I see an intersection 
Stemming out of sight of my 
Pictureframe shot 
One to the gorges 
One to the wetlands
And these places I have been

But I take the path on 
Under sun-dried oak trees
And a dirt road 
only buggies and birdsong 
Ever bothered
To my grandmother's home

I am greeted by the proprietor
A quiet lady
In the dusty wooden cabin

The ways are low
Shorter than I must be
But I manage to find the room
That I will spend the rest of my days
Reading in the waning light

2 of 30


Painted pots of empty plants
Portrayed as strays in the sod
Who bought pots to plod them
Into warm, soft earth?
And fill them
With warm, soft earth?
But then came again frost
The point is moot when chilled
And when the holes
Sprout wild onions
Who could go wrong?
When the moss meanders under 
Who could go wrong
And when crocuses peak premature
Who could go wrong
At least the pots were painted

Fields of a heaven

It's the kind of field
Where you can lay down 
And feel
The blades of grass
The sunny kisses
The winter whips
And know you're stuck
On the side of a planet
That planet what made 
the heavens and the earth

Heavens upon heavens 
I would take a step off
Touch down on white puff
And leap past the frost
Stream away in goodness faith
For other planets places proverbs
To imitate
If only just to soothe a hearth
Heavy burdened with heaven words
And heaven's holy arts

Only north

Something about mist and steam is not smoke
Something about broken water spouts
Rainbowing oases in the desert
Rewinds me
And reminds me

Somewhere about beavers' dams 
Is neither business or residential
And the bee's flight is beside dancing and language
And the geese's chevron has only north

I'd sort it out
--
If I could

But I'd have only north
--
If I could

Day 1 of 30

Water beads on my skin
Almost as when it tries
To escape the body

I want to peel away certain layers
And whisk curtain airs through me
Taking with it only iron
Or only calcium
Or only water
I would watch myself crumble

Would I wash this much
If I knew my skin?
Would I fumble soap suds 
If in this body I was safe?

How about I pick certain trails
And run along the streams
Stopping only for hills of iron
And calcium
And carbon
I would watch myself stumble here

Here I tumble into the drain
Unaware of courtesy
Of permanency
Or What at all 
Is in me
