the river flowing in curves...

we had been told many things...


OH IT'S YOU

one's thin shadow...

the grievers and the gleaners...

well after midnight...

how far back to our common ancestor?...

the temples...


WHERE WE MAKE OUR HOMES
the light turns its edge towards us...

the flames flying...


THE GODS
when the gods remember...

Every morning, coming out of sleep into ...

All the solitudes. Each keeps to ...

WHAT FUN IS THIS


the best-tied shoes and most
normal digestion
blackest night for claiming
tire tracks not your own

you stumbled into bed
with the best of them
the covers trampling you like horses

turning away from the door
leaving your house to burn
raise one hand
like a balloon with no thoughts in it
miracle of flame miracle of dawn
that makes a charred wreck of the night

my poor wild mouth
you have galloped through the soup
and (by the back door)
out of the house built for you
by the judgment of generations

alone freezing on the road
the ditches have parasites
the shelters are full of danger

there is no time like the present
and no blackened bones coming up
in your driveway

review
what has been required
and place it beside you like a kitten
later babe later or is it
later even now
