spring edges

ifs missives compositions and compressions
scale coils mise-en-scene minutes mirages
minks spring boxes and swamps
star crafts rocks into willow oak copse

may flies

thickets and exnihilo wishes
positions between miller indices
individual midges lace hinges
tracing letters ej ded okay

redwingblackbird

no bird is blacker
with a redder wing
from the cats' tail top
raucous and self righteous
contender for swamp
harbinger of spring

visions_versions_sb817

remember the jump
off the dock is darkness
only moving moon nails
the other side of south
bay is black
against the stars
and glow of gan
a few geese try
the air they breath
same as you and me

wind spills a sweater
onto aching shoulders
disposed there
between the maple grains
a thin week
buckwheat and saccharides
barely able to pull the sheets
over eyes dumb with sleep

visions_version_a4

in april still i
a dragon waking up
stalking through the house
picking up sticks
heated breath
streaming out over
a shallowing cup of murky
double letters lighting irisis
 

ideal heat exchange

an isochoric wind
sends timbers
shivering finding
splits to play
whistles to send
sounds for those
midnight hours
when skunks
diagrams spilling
over the brim of cups
are only awake

april_is

in april still i
a dragon waking up
stalking through the house
picking up sticks
heated breath
streaming out over
a shallowing cup of murky
double letters lighting irisis
matching is the scorched boron
doped with maple and oak
a mean free path
measured in units the stoves cast

giddyup

going place
knotted laces
treads smooth traces
aces and deuces

pigeons to the wind scatter
wings black with backlit
so much of them a seagull
never in a tree never just one

fires_i

by the seventh set
the sun nets the clock
hands tasked to conduct
guide the flux
from wood to dust
shins appreciate the warmth
the cast of black
percolates and does
better to fingers bitten
with cold and letters
set in tombs
