Other Than That
Other than that
things are going
just fine
except for my
apology
to nobody.
The pressure is on
to remember the places
inside these changes.
Yes, I remain flexible and open.
The crowd stops when the music stops.
One of the loudest for its size.

Circadian Membership
To join, just sign here
On the dotted line
Inside the old part
The part which is bones
And flowers with inky stains.
You'll never wake up, fully,
But do your best, and save
The next for last, lovingly.

Letter From Circadia
My letter will arrive in six hours.
It will tell of the edge of the forest.
I will be there with my hands, washing them,
how the dawn leaves without me, but I will run
to catch up, just like in the middle
if this dream, time will stand still.
I have already been cutting the lavender,
it is used a lot in these situations.

Many Times Gone
I've re-potted her asparagus fern. The huge pot
too small to contain all the roots,
they're spilling and reaching--
hardened, yet still living,
clutching themselves
after breaking out
of their plastic container
where they've lived on air
for years. Water is on TV.
Oregon rivers and the ocean.

Scorpio Over Roseburg
The sky is an open book
inside the locked library of stars.
Scorpio bakes its potatoes
over Roseburg. There are pears galore,
upside down light bulbs in the trees
out back. The second one
singing with such energy
in the deer bedroom. Hen's nests
but larger, in the stiff grasses
where it's closer to Marney's place.
We see the ghost fires he set.
They were sudden, during the day.
I saw his back through the black edges
of the low flames as if
he was only playing.

Times Were
The problem was that the thing became another sort of
distraction, in the mezzanine, it meant three mezzanines,
not two, or even one. Grain, cattle, babies all holding on
to the present day. I could count them on one hand.
Did they even miss me? Was the mezzanine the prime spot,
as in destination, say, the next Aspen or Jackson Hole?

Mezzanine
That and the dog house.
Glad of the opportunities here,
take the fact that you could let go
of a ping pong ball from the Atrium,
releasing it from so high up
into the courtyard
seeing if it would break or just
watch it, like a game, just bouncing.
