erosives

the devil is the dirt
the wide skirt dark
a tan on the blue
permeable rocks
float on the top, sopping
in the terminable dew

superior

stones arranged in rows
big ones to little sand
round the trees steep
the big lake more solid
than rock thought of itself

idaho

the wind blows a dusty mess
up the road to settle on the deck
the frequent hops of old robin
bob the neighbor drinks beer
and grows a hedge of no particular shape
bob the dog died last week
the stairs on this block are white
the railings on this block are black
the ceilings are wooden and the floors
stucco with accents of spaghetti sauce

marsh road

a choice green
stems clean
trails in black
mud clearly
simply water
humid bullrushes
willows stalking
redwingblackbirds

shores

these are the moments
that hinge on things
the air settles in the wake
of wings cutting out
from the bluffs all alonge
the lake waves on
claiming a perpetuity
in the reflections
of the birds that
hang up here

future reality

spaghetti is how
the west was fed
they got tomatos in cans
at a grocery store
and stopped on
the way home for anchovy
in cans in cans in cans

take a big onion
for example
it goes well in sauce
with a tomato
and bay leaf
and stuff
and cinnamon
and the people cry and scream
and love it
and you are a celebrity chef now 


three months at a time

the big lake
improbably hued
as
whitecap strewn
phantom ice rainbows
rings of the sun
run around three months
and sure enough
ago the ducks wore ruffles
and tufts of down luck

geology as analogy

the beach is a curious condition
where the lake invests the shore
hitting on land
dragging bonafide rocks
and abusing them for a thousand years
till they pulverize into sand
pile up and ambivilate
as months to a moth

the trout

the trout leaps
the trout touts fins
the trout leafs through books
the trout hoitytoity
the trout looks good in a bowtie
the trout pouts
the trout eats ice cream
the trout loiters
the trout lines up
the trout identifiable in a book
the trout is guilty
the trout in jail
the trout

chichi

on a windy day
is on a cloud
apt on point
rains on panes
places on same
soakers on sneakers
