listen the unraveled whimpers from an ingrown silence coiled in a diary 

 wakened to drips on her brush blue water coating sheep bells

 the cosmos flowers like it or not  even in cracked persimmon suns

 

  

just caught a soft glimmer from a  foot-stabbed sun dial in the dark 

 his arrhythmic heart
on a treadle…
does the weaver know?

 until the air comes clear again flat in the layered stillness

 

 long day in the rose bush another finger bleeds 

  

on a curb dog burying trampled flowers shrinking soil 

 through a wave of hearts the pineapple emoji

 fresh shave you become a good heron

 mermaids the fingerprints of fiddles
