meet with your nature,Iridescent kid
in a white, vaporous tree
what have the flying men promised
change your life my drowsy flame
extinguisher-fire of a lifelong drouse
dancers in the crematory oven.
white hot ash, homo-sapien
ties youth between two skies
grafting purgatorial states
to the human nuclei
feed and bathe my shadow
thoughts’ arc-mirrors insist you distort my form
repeating blindly in perpetual digression
twirling the lie comet under and over
do not ruin me
do not investigate my fear
snow green sounds of subordinate spring
(time shed its skin as we slept)
rayed-world, the apart time corresponds
to lost love, a fragrance desire cannot reissue
morning-throned
i am the night’s ill patient
puzzled by a world i assume tiered
brighten-captors,
i have raveled in the ellipses of desire
a pair of cardinals, fires in the blue of green
taught by a silent series
November-eves reappear
summer nights of Eden
animals –
suspend the hands
of the clock garden
Black ravens
apply their methods
shriek-swarming in half-light.
you tire.
i compound the room’s shadows
repelling noon’s halberd
incongruent, these
cannot revive my division fires
–
Beings
on the steps
asleep
In every memory.
i have walked in the world
to watch them wake.
Now amber raped
Full of august and the dream
they were
as you are
before you appear
each thought of you
houses a replica.
I fathom duplicates — runic
arbitrary
I lie in shadewinds
hair on cold smooth stone streets
blind twilight unwinds
injecting yellow cards
between shadow cogs
overloading the tines– into light
idea of day; dawn
ignite.
In all that takes place
i ask why you’ve left.
years pass.

doubling surface areas, snow

pull my name across the desert
polyphonies agape
rolling and unrolling, rose-yellow.

let go
of the drunken bell
nothing able will end you
once you were never drunk
when the patterns cease to replicate
all distances are equal
when the paths cannot be known

chimneys buried beneath waves.
hunter in the neighborhood
seer in the city
boatman at the end
of an anchor chain
We agree and disagree in degrees
it is warmer in sunlight
truer face to face
it is a body lodged in clay
for air it waits - waits - waits - waits

I play
a white drawer
holds a marked boxed
in a room i cannot make real
a room in a dream.
the intonations
numberless,
childhood
our family tree blooms
thick with morning dew:
Sunlit crushed glass;
death picks every piece of fruit
i’m told you’ve searched
the stone coast.

i resent you in time.
the water wheel threshes the river dry
in our yard
he is carried kings, naked
deathed, descending in sunlight
the brightness of each rib
diminishes
brightest at the center.

motive of knowable origin
idea, body-graved
while it is too late –
dry straw on the water
desire’s open windows
when Babel tore apart
my pain is sure
gray shield
Heaven’s boiling point
gamma ray
disturbed nest
tomb-wall fortress broken
its gasping thumb smears
the man whose step
is uncertain glances
at the reality in flight
that exists as a consciousness.
elder water:
home and disaster,
two resilient mouths
masticate my memories
torch flowers.
able-bodied splendors
laughter watchers
breathe, time’s immortal vapor
girl of the blood dirge
i witness your red
our encounter, last of the lasting
first to be spider-spun
I feast on that web.
