Our minds are formed for a place where no one is stricken, where...

across the last dark of night...

a hundred-year walk to the moon...

They get to be four, five, six feet long quite commonly. No poison...

amongst the dark columns...


WHICH WAY IS BEST?
here steep there boggy moved every which way...

in the beginning it was milk milk milk...

ONE THOUGHT YIELDS TO ANOTHER
whatever evolution is...

as the days bend toward...


LAST OF WINTER (SECOND TRY)
a man is a fire in the world...


TRUE NATURE
after the dark is dark...


WHO MADE IT
if I am in my labors...

SOMETIME IN THE SEASON


a shower blowing headlines past
randomness takes over anything you feel or say
while you think what is common to all?

having a throat you could say that
the need to eliminate you could ditto

the line of blowing
has its startles and surges
and you are no more still
or less blown

and could you be the possession of all
and understood by all
and if so the result of all this
being swept here and there
is you

maybe the only integrity
of the line we pursue
is its waver

how many times the weather
will not let us be
and when the sun goes down
its hole and clouds come over the sky

out of nowhere progress is being made
like a sudden drop in temperature
that comes with gusts
sweeping up trash and twisting
with them down the street
