slough jumps

an old owl stole
a tail or two a carbon black
tree on a farm or noon on the hot planet
close to the sun, forget me knots holding
the laundry to the line, so the light can blow
and dry like bones

slow low

solo lilly pads
floating on the surface still
roots shooting for the silt
south bay preachers, slimy shells
long legs carrying groaks
red wings singing spoke
out and said to keep
paddling past, no turtles
in the warm high water

twenty four years ago,

today, someone
happened

friend of the cat

a bishop ringing bells
a flower bringing bees
have in common
at once and forever again
a cell array description
parse here parts there
and flippant location

ibis threats , owl flying, cattle lowing
yet better than the ribs
pierced and liver pulverized
of a lamb on dew in the
morning noon or night

the moon visits the sun
while the start of some young pigion
makes a roundabout admission
fissuring cobalt to scions and ribbons
hear they fly and I and I bring a doubt
with the damndest thistleing

wing in the pillows

on my arm,
my head. a farm
of thoughts spread
with manure and last years hay.
hee haw says the cat, getting
ready to do something dragonish.
pelicans soar above and wait
for the fish to fly to them.
its nice and sunny to be working on a farm
in the boring urbanity of it all.

sring love

daffodils
on the sill
in soil

eve and saddam

o bummer.

where are ALL
the american heros
all the muhammads
and the blue folks
and impassable comanches
watering horses and trains
fighting nowhere
for the nobody everybody knows
,kings, all of them,
parks sprouting trees on buses,
sowing sanity and eyesight,
dilliminal tickets to the twixt and twain
among inner city zealots
not stopped not moving; inbetweeen
always starting
lightning rods of the world,
kites of mediums,
prophecy of whats novel
.?

rarity

we ended up windy
singing briskly on the glued
rock roof,
watching the cat breathe and squint
and quit
the sight

read view mirror

slips on the night edge
of fence pickets
this ticket is going where
where the sun is hardly anyones
problem
eyes perfectly shuttered up
and homes perfectly flooded
muskrats make the best of it
or so they say seals
in the harbor of some stupid place
where the pace is set by lobsters taking
long rests at the bottom, right near the holy grail

manure

city not far from the valley
down in the valley
hand my head over
smell the wind blow
mist and shit
mountains
and lots of habitants
standing around lost in
their surroundings
floundering to guess the thousands of uses
uberellas have,
the red and blue cinderellas hanging on to winter.
