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

1/22/15

Wipe your feet

I cannot hear the steps beneath my feet
I'm waiting till I hear them meet the ground
I'll sit down 
Wipe away those sounds and right back to the water
Let dungeon pool around me

1/1/15

Crustacean claws

Good claws
Crustacean claws
That pull and pry 
At the silk symbol 
Woven for a gratitude

But It wasn't fault 
For where rosy horns
Etch both directions
Serrations strip its mooring

And morning is already here 
As blood 
And clean white calcite
Rinsed through the brine

Fire on the lawn

Come over tonight
We'll put up fire
On our lawns
Of bon and bene
Reams of smoke
Twisting in streams 
The acrobatics of chimneys 

For the char of yesterdays
For the coke 
The black snow silence
That settles each morning
That's what it's for, you know
Though we can have our smoke
And our destructs
And the evenings spent in glows


Redder still, 
place behind eyes
Redder still,
 the sun's place on the other side of the sky
Where a sunset matters, and the sunrise only happened
