Nukes
03:36
|
|||
|
rattled branch
along window pane
scratch and tap
wind-driven need
morse code for warmth
a natural scribe
marking nothing
and finding something
worth recovery
inside

Thrice-heated Coffee

new file walkway
red and orange path
meanders between
fire and water, leaves
and stream
asleep
lanterns against sky
lowering into dusk
a gentle breeze and
we meet at a bridge
-
an ungentle aspen
leans awkwardly
into our personal space
like a line dangling
beyond a ragged margin

Polar Briefing
06:57
|
|||
|
snow finally fell
falls and falls and falls
first blood too
a cry and a fall
then comfort
trills adrift and aloft
leveling off then a drop
soft and quiet noise
snow incipit
falls into snow
day cloud fathom
a list of winter

A Fictional Town
02:58
|
|||
|
stretch into a market
in stead or in stall
form from water a way
or away from it all
can it be canny and
uncertain, becalmed
yet a mean spirit
rustles under passion
a clout or a clod
either perch
lances a name
hard boil fallow
inert flap to frequent
the words that mean
that are mean what
they say never say
what they mean
round and round
skull ring flower
shape line edge
gap plane angle

WTF Clowns
02:59
|
|||
|
changing time
a preserve
antagonistic
to falling
asleep
or a fetish
of the tick
and tock
logic dial
set to chime
whenever
grains swerve
laminar flow
down fall
fell snow
blankets
and pillow
to comfort
at the end
of all things
as objects
become us
|

No Instruments
03:11
|
|||
|
hard knock
into frame
graded slope
ancient fracture
forgotten rift
between
an object
and a thing
a word and
nothing
|

9. |
After Runes
20:55
|
|||
|
heart-shaped house
hearth-heaped those
thoth-shaped storm
stem-fled amber
-
a break in the chain
a chain in the net
a net in the sea
a sea in the public
a public in the mind
a mind in the
-
flip to mean a manner
in which thought can change
no need left between
no undone bargain
no target at rest
nothing still water can't move
