by the shore of the lake where the lake ends and begins like the land going under it

ignorance is bliss summer marigolds

to keep confusion at bay say the sky lies belly down

i am a bickle it is a travisty

romancing the poet and the poet’s smelly feet born of a universal misunderstanding most eggs remain unhatched

sleep a poppy

there’s an atlas for travellers and one for non-travellers overlapping

besides the pheasant brained pheasant a burial mound and a stone

full of white cabbage and moonlight my kitchen table remains in space

perfectly orange Israeli orange without walls

should have realised the ocean springs from a spider

another lake I didn't think of living

still on Daylight Savings Time a hoot owl

leaves for a bit longer

thirteen dead c 13 dead cats dog

dumping it as a hole in the city a possible future

every when the before had

in(de)visible the first man and the first man's first shadow

crucifix just deep enough to scratch the surface

.

flowering tree my mind in the shape of tomorrow's rain  

.

rice a blame cloth cranberry chaser

speechless air down from the North

chauffeur a sense of heat

with a mind of his own the jailhouse fly

love and faith always crashing the starship

it's extinct that butterfly made of mercury

new moon::re-tweeting the evergreens

Europe growing darker too as it once was

because we have the ability to ask 'what then?' hyacinths
