forest

Time & again there’s tomorrow. A moment
grows, surrenders.

sea

precious, I have carried safe,
the salt of your renaissance mouth

antelope  canyon

It does not herald, no
instead—
it waits—

the scheduled remembrance

In the room for minds
they speak of love and peace.
We stand removed,

Red Artifacts

flower
we are beautiful
you with your circular ever

bird touching the sun

the flight of birds is buoyancy,
efficiency & lift,
a sensitive noise in the silence.
the language of feather &

colorful

propagate its scores of states
with pockets full of stone
accustomed to clear light.

warm lights

beyond this once
within the once
within the once within
unfocused — you become.

skull

how prettily
we grow in love
with hate, into cadavers

In space, I am
inclusive
yet not

911destruction

dawn rose punctual, on time
as usual for a minute

storm

clouds do not dance with the earth and the land until they are burdened

earth

How odd to have faith in a circle

planet earth

tomorrow
is endlessly flawed,
more vacuous love — than a why

mountains and planets

Life isn’t easy when you’re dead,

aurora

About the Lakes, there is quietness,
a sense of dislocation;

Machu Picchu

these slits of time, un-focus,
as everything grows winking,
or magically comes, half alive.

William Holman Hunt

It is not a careless weight
Within each death beneath you,
The laying down of arms.

Outside the dust beyond one window. Outside,
room & wall, divides,

The estival sun has fallen East,
well past the country, bird and beast

…when she spun
on the edge of a harvest moon dancing
