two cormorants of dawn
incomprehensible
erratic wings
flying in_land
looking to_water
down the king
of fluid medium
swimming
as much as thinking

chitown

perfect light stretches day into legs
striding on hotchocolate shoes
down wide avenues
including complex intersects
that beacon and balk
five ways deciding ties

the saving grace of the graveyard
may be more pond than pagoda
under granite names so tired
a permanent rest taken for granted
the rattle of the elevated
the roar of the jet
the peace of grass
waiting to be cut

lists b_5

the back road always empty
full with deep dark
in spring frogs
replaced by september crickets
still blacker before the snow visits
an approximation of the leaves
here on earth on the back road
alone among the snaps and edges of cold
out on this two tone
moon skirted by
solids of many lines
luck is northern nights
columns of white
or shivers of nav lights
courses set on ice
 

red shift

giant leaps steps
left in blue paint
right as rain
pooling in the lake
snare staccato plaster
frames the curvilinear plane
brass with all soft fifths of tonics
rips runs on the pillars of mnemonics
sawing in half time to sink
the sun as wave and spin
referential physics remain hidden
let the pelikan alone to stay in
play on and atom a given

stability is imagined by the mind
by tangents concentrics lines
feeble green static splines
though initial conditions ill defined

subtle wishes to switch positions
find parallels perpendicular
coincidence broken in purple
essential diagrams stranded
adjusted spans saddle busted
riding off into impossible turf

but what is reference is set in stone
guidance by first principle tomes
vestigial recollections
stable under what went wrong
a ready scaffold for new practicals

cold starts

awake before the candle
on toe to set the fuze
and back to warmth
waiting for the fumes
black and white
forty nine and fifty
ratios that in some ways
set the rating on the whole day

the phonons loss of concentration
scattering into the abyss
drinking down a gradient
diffusing a few ballistics

classification_systems

indivisible angles in winter
are
intricate anchors set in drifts
are
infinite angels integrating zeros to limits
are
inverse anhydrous blankets static
are
if and or but

lists_b4

swimming is the future
we ask to dip
slipping minutes by isn't it
blue blockers indoors
at lunch over teeth
patiently waiting with old habits
hands to hold time in check
mornings into after
soon
water rises and drops

lists_b3

kayaks and coyote calls
at the back of south bay
after miles of bushwacks
across wellesley aisles glacier tracks
to white oak limbs wide
between swamps tabernacles
pavilions peninsular rocks docks
boats to swimming stops
and pikes lost to lax knots
lots of thoughts on walks to dark spots
watching stars start and drop
arcs over halo tree tops

a galaxy of reasons radiating
indicating off north
depth compressed reflecting a surface flexing
too foreverly perpetually new

LOVELY AS THE RIVER MELTING
SNOW THROWN THROUGH
