Vanishing sky
the stars go out one by one
oceanic birdbath
23 Jan
Mosque on a side street
hawk perched on the pinnacle
rain coming at last
23 Jan
Proximate commerant
with fish in gullet
too big to swallow
tries and tries again
semi-translucent and gold
at last dives below
fish half-swallowed
29 Jan
Old guy empties a container into the drink
flesh inside flops out maybe live
turtles cross my mind, slowly
others in a boat watch him too
probably yet more invasive species
he's johnny bad-appleseed
doing his dystopian part
Feb
Tidal flats
1.
early dragonflyjet arrives before its roar
multitudes of sand birds
2.
the wind in the reedssounds like someone's coming
it's only the wind
11 March
I stand up too fast
and the world keeps going
a vertical subway
in the pancaking hotel
Praetorius unpacked a delicate press-kit
insistent the stars tapped on the window
not to be, not to be
With every step a breathier breath
well met well met
o death to death
the porch light attracts old thoughts
old loves, one old love
larval states of puberty
every year the same vestigial wings
futility is a phylum without individuals
rowboat slowly bumping in lakeville
eros amid the water lily pads
too many white clouds go over
white clouds reflecting in the lake
too many years, white headstones
white clouds reflecting in one's hair
June 2014
