Crops, Fire, Abundance

Then the epidemics despite elaborate furniture and phone booths up the creeks now the valley is weedy and cemented they traded cakes and lived on their maddens rising above the waves of purple deliciously growing in the mud and ashes from the Mountain when we lived there we really lived it was not far to anything

Nine Thirty

My socks say remember Your feet sex was yesterday or the day before We saw you there lurking just beneath the covers becoming too heavy with the outside dripping in the garden it was a wonderful daydream how could it happen this time coffee not rain difference in the smell that is how I know

This Way Up

Most of them have it I wanted it all these years this is what was implied when I wrote to Santa Fe how my fingers are crossed so now what do I do here but take another view about it the sometimes warnings what did they accomplish except more untethering Can I honestly say I did not obstruct my own path would I be that hard on myself putting it past and past me Trying to step out of the way so it would carry my heart

Trees And Shrubs

Your plan is gorgeous because it is easy to see what you have in mind especially the pavilion right in the middle or is it a temple and is that the moon or a slice of purple styrofoam another that got away

Eye Du Nod Playe Et Loff

Love plays with me knocking beforehand as if that would help a heart attack room spin color wheel little pavilion Love plays with me before thinking it through down the shimmering corridors brushed and burnished high sheen Love plays with me too many hours and then it is five before I know it

Was Where

That was where he lived his little window that was his place for some time my letters his calls my photo the one at Bogus Creek right before jumping in See how it is lit now with tiny lights a golden glow from the street so welcoming next to the store close to House of Records where Robert worked later Some could say that was the old neighborhood but that was all of Eugene basically anywhere you look

Save The Day

The nugget glows I could almost touch my mind is steady feet firmly travel why do you ask There are plenty where that came from is this how the story goes or is it too real just happening to notice

They Are Gathering

They are gathering in the hall as it should be over the floating floor made especially Could you please come back with more next time they are lining up their feet know what to do it is Friday settle in for a bit we'll know the stranger from just down the road walking under the big leafed maple

Cancelled Plans

If you wait long enough the plans will cancel themselves out like simple math at midnight or after when it is the next day and the custodians walk around saying good night

Account

We were free Tina on the monkey bars Corine with her sweater long in the arms me and my stingray so what did we miss nothing holding us back no shackles no ropes but blind to the others who were confined didn't we hear their whispers their checkerboard games drawn in the dust eating webs and longing because they were

Ten Twenty-Six

It is ten twenty-six and I am still a dork my dreams tell me otherwise sister is the editor of Glamour and I surprised by this editing

The Poet Sits Hungry

There is a lot of food where the poet sits hungry behind the crowd set the beautiful table details between songs do not bother the singers voices clearly singing

Less Puff

The world the sky my engagement this writing the swollen river a game this night coconut creame not Waimanalo

Drive He Said

Here are my keys still warm from my pocket where I've kept them clean untangled so silent the scene of the crime when look first not worth it so busted in my imagination the household unlocked house windows table Open and unopened

Country Mouse

Took it with him wherever he found himself He had something even though it was the nothing round the town wasn't there either Phantom pain for it for the amputations trees stones river hills beyond understanding It was not just the keys to the vehicle not just the ruins so unwelcoming upon arrival

Water Not Wet Enough

Solvent o intentional beautiful sky rolling dark with afternoon please meet me soon

Unawake With A Twist

Inward gaze towards now surroundings whole gulps of air instead of out of league out of body scrutiny ingest these jolly olds to find the joke don't cha know what you left and who they were the soft parts of you

Well, I

The battle wasn't it just took more I grew up with the bomb almost a family member why do I say almost because nobody wanted that fact she wants them back even now all those years something lost inside the house but where

Fallen

Fell hard but this is secret squirrel just let me pretend I will find all thatIdesire when it is time or when I have forgotten the time because the hidden ones will grow this way

Eye

Sore eye from checking out Sky larks their nests checked off placements instead of above so below zero the building waits wet and dimly bright

Slow Down Some When You Drive By
