January sun Europe as it appears in the bible

             deepening winter she tells him about the bridge

         deepening winter we cure a blackbird’s depression

 whilst holding a box of chocolates you fall into the large hole

 mirror universe Cory steps out of the hole

taking your hat off and putting it back on days of waiting turn into days of waiting

 

 

just like that a naked orange

 when the battles are over sapphire

 between the planets marigolds

 forsythia blossom he stops using the n word

 seedless the sky is neither fruit nor berry

 thinking itself a Spaniard the birch 

 

as simple as a stalk of grass swaying in the wind as simple as that

 not telling anyone about the marshmallow you ate

 Christ like this field in Burgundy

 replacing you with a line of marigolds

 while some are barely green others are double yellow

 recognising bicycles a flower

 fried onions the wooden parrot's tongue 

 fried sausages the child's yawn 

 like sacred music the newt’s belly

 it could be something else her as a houseplant

 RoboCop the sky just before sunrise 

 after grafting two pieces of soap a boy falls from the sky

 still the stone age hooded crow

 like a lentil you crush the moth 

 

“ … but in the city you can have 2, 3 or 4 shadows moving at different speed”

 beyond Coeur d'Alene Zac learns Greek

 the last winter at your father's house 

 on Wednesday you touch a geranium
