ABOUT TO SIT DOWN
Stepping out the back door...

Brown corn bends as...

Just by getting enough distance...

my mind's blank wall...

words just off...

the night...

studying to live...

I left out the part...

he who sleeps a false sleep...

in the cellar...

the world is alive...

Buying toys, the one remaining copy...

in trouble again...


JUST AFTER DAWN
We sat among the cattle and he asked me ...

I am proud...

not knowing what to say...

blank pages spit their silence...

life goes through...


AUTOBIOGRAPHY VOL. II
the day before my birth...

the pressure of seasons...


TODAY
awoke in the forest...

HEEDING


press my wrist to my ear
sound of a river surging
one light bobs far out on the current

all of you on the other side
why wait so patiently for me
why spread your picnic in the dark

the wind or my breath makes
a sweeping noise but no sound
can make it from shore to shore

the river's strict confinement
makes it strong makes it
tear its banks and toss stones around
