The Day
It begins at night with a moon
schedule this a long way off
simple to remember I forgot
the woods are full of noses
I mean boars careful they attack
I will be on a bike I say
that is even worse they say
what does this have to do with me
please tell me what is expected
other than this before I go there

Pictures Of The Eagles
People will start climbing those trees
they figure within the next week or two
should be hatched also the sheep
back in January when does Harrisburg
made me look nine weeks when it ends
pretty good money now your body knows
paperwork determined ready enough

Detailing
They said they like my detail work
not necessary on a daily basis
I know no other life ignoring
wildflowers their birds trees
life is short up at Glide
forest and oak savanna steps away
from summer here so soon
will I ever catch
spring's signature accomplishments

The Moment
Lasting about a week
the sub-tropical moment
in the trees the bushes
mosquitos and then some
what should we think
about it and the formulae
for time not existing
is it true is it known
what does not die becoming
as everything else sliding
against a future long past

The Lava Lake
Sure I knew
every exactness
underneath salt surface
bumping my right heel
same way
same boulder
not on purpose
could I possibly remember
everything
this time
minus my feelings
plus my life

The Bohemian Blouse
Speaking of wheat where trails cross swans
their shells left behind along the river bank
where you said pretty it made me afraid
American Dipper parallel to the slump
I knew in the willow labyrinth
that nothing could be the same again
in my life until now I forgot
tucked inside this memory icy love you
Formulae
Can be erased above the chalk piles
obliteration oblique integers
or at least I wish this were so
if there's a greasy yellow
forget it and the ghost left behind
whispering above a lot of primes

Servicing The Building
all look no touch
our marriage
of convenience
long past midnight
spiders at old soldiers
dying at your attention
at wits end at more wiping away
philia sounds so nice but isn't
the rest too time consuming
so dusty so covered in grime
in grit except for water
the nest
of extra
water

Vol Ca No
It's like a room
for one or two
I see my stye
across the crater
roiling and boiling along
I could not tolerate more
she said and he agreed
their hunger was apparent
I love my parents
their imperfections
I've forgotten up here
so close to the sky

Well I I Mean
I missed it but didn't
in an eighth grade way
changing my mind about it
so old then as I look back
Missoula and the M
my old friends, the views,
not their official names
but you know I was'nt there
except when I saw myself
in a photograph
our Rattlesnake School
yearbook stapled pamphlet
photo collage leaves
postures so weakened
film not real so dry
crackling fire

The News
This morning I got up
we checked the braker
nothing this is gas
they do go out
anyway to come over
at one o'clock
to fix it underneath
the house the shirt
do you know
what this means
tomorrow manguawna

In The Bin
Can it be the best
maybe all has become about
could we smile instead
the best time inside
we did not worry
about the train
its schedule
I was informed
today look here
at the jungle
the volcano
not hidden
at all

It All Checks Out
Just like the T.V. Detective said
it all checks out wonderfully
so this is the bit where I come in
crucial moment in solving
a murder a mystery long dead
this is where I am needed
expertise they can't do without
so I'll put my two cents in
will seem like nine or eight

When The
Clock is now overtime
what else looking past
the draw between times
now sign and consign oops

It Was His Life Old And Dull
I couldn't keep up
with all the wood
piling it up in the garage
careful of the Mercedes
parked like another palace
a house to clean
in a future not mine
so carefully I wonder
there are the facts
time's up and what do I know
about trees everything because you

Two Plus Two
Equals five
chalk
wiped away
no ease
under the spider webbing
glass and surface cleaner
sufficants
power you expect
ingredients
never tested
fumes
animals
replace trigger
twist
naturally

Easter Hand
Chicken rabbit egg
trouble hand she said
before the basket
didn't you know it
they hid eggs in grasses
the slaughter of wet
sun across the grass
crouching like a lion
blues and whites
their sugary existence
what happened despite the frosts
on top of their growing
