All stillness. Yet these shapes float
November 16, 2025 at 8:30 AM
Like Monday drunkards. The milky berries
Bow down, a local constellation,
November 16, 2025 at 7:45 AM
More mammoth and blowsy with every season;
November 16, 2025 at 4:48 AM
Of double star-eyes lit
November 16, 2025 at 2:57 AM
Of each scrolled sea-beast

Stillborn
These poems do not live: it's a sad diagnosis.

A blue mist is dragging the lake.
November 15, 2025 at 11:03 PM
I draw on the old mouth.
November 15, 2025 at 6:53 PM
And newts are prodigal in legs. And may I be
As prodigal in what lacks me.
November 15, 2025 at 6:30 PM
And get back, back, back to you.

Nick and the Candlestick
I am a miner. The light burns blue.

Resolve

No floor: a wave of flickering grass tongues
Supports his foot. He pipes a world of snakes,
Of sways and coilings, from the snake-rooted bottom
November 15, 2025 at 12:46 PM
Framed in a basketwork of cat-tails.
November 15, 2025 at 10:22 AM
The mask increases, eats the worm,
Stripes for mouth and eyes and nose,
November 15, 2025 at 8:42 AM
Lit things, that lamp of the Possible! Wet yet
Lay over the leaves like a clear cellophane,
A pane of dragonfly wing, when they left me
November 15, 2025 at 6:51 AM
To choose between your world of jungle green
November 15, 2025 at 5:22 AM
The starched, inaccessible breast.
November 15, 2025 at 4:15 AM
By a mad miracle I go intact
Among the common rout
Thronging sidewalk, street,
November 15, 2025 at 2:47 AM
Give grass its green
November 15, 2025 at 1:40 AM
Bright as a Nazi lampshade,
November 15, 2025 at 12:11 AM
No animal spoils on her green doorstep.
November 14, 2025 at 5:54 PM
I see your cute decor
Close on you like the fist of a baby
Or an anemone, that sea
November 14, 2025 at 5:42 PM
The bald, white tumuli of your eyes.
November 14, 2025 at 3:40 PM
As wood and formal, in a jacket of ashes,
The whole flat harbor anchored in
