visions_version_y

barely there flames
say blue
here and three
cold light
ghost compared
to spots
pin pupils tight
white hot cold coal black opposites

visions_version_f8

the dimensions reduced
wood burned to truest dust
useful stuff see books
shade dirt piles boats
look hard at the ashes
read a future what must

visions_version_ca

cannonball by firelight
pads articulate
combustion spontaneous stops
gone black gone sparks
abstruse haunts what caughts
coughs ivory dust
charts for water what
the moon hasnt given up

visions_versions_g

a mallard dives
high water lives
islands grow lines
some trying times

questions_versions_c

why the cardinal
red at one end
sunflower or another
points hither tither
all day long sun
as if there is none
of the colors at night

visions_version_iii

few days ago last year
stood standing face
to an allusion of sun
till the wet throne froze
overnight from wave to white
there on top
waiting for ten to drop solid
tears and booms and cracks
the river talks of depth and death
walking from edge to back
listening to the ice
decide blue or oranger black eyes
perched on a line
still set
die in the wind

cold open
forever beholden

holdingon

white  oak leaf hindrance
not punctual nor portent
perhaps ambivlant

visions_version_i11

its a fine line
a step ill defined
miller indices isles
make the bay south
over head or feet shallow
angles on the coldest sun
t r i ll i o n
or immobile blind until spring
when redwingblackbirds
head back and wing

visions_version_23rd

here words end
incorporated paper gems

roman numeral bends     
ties undone again
permanently tin
and porcelain

visions_versions_s

under an aluminum sky
the window of opportunity slides
shut with each gust
the foam picks up
what the river lets
go and take this paddle
beat that current
beat that breeze
beach that bok
in the cattails
in the spring
