bird feet the night we destroyed the buildings
in a dream of potato genetics the strawberry man
the heron’s heart Van Ruisdael’s brushstroke
its song the birch that kills you
in your dirtbike heart a cow falling
where the hippos sleep january snow
independent thought the jellyfish's wishbone
the king must die three weeks of dragonflies
perched bird the silence of dna
w/ the word thursday we fix rain
the ceiling ab negative
finding audubon’s mystery birds a burdock bulb
hambone infinity god makes a squid
in the deep the heart of ice rain is sapphire
the creek's pretence at resoluteness winter drizzle
congealed in a puddle discarded skies
after-rain steam sweating off the weight of blindness
mewling tinnitus a poem once
your nose a shark looking towards saturn
sometimes strong giraffe eyes
stare a condition of the eye that belies the soul’s long rains
skimming bridge waters a collared cloud
fault in a tourniquet an inundation
sunk in darkness words long dead in the telling
following instructions we make ears for wasps
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?
