From right

To what’s left

Her needles

Have been

Shed

A son peeks

Through

Her trunk

With winter

Come to ground

A clearing low

A clearing

Tom McGlynn

I totally concur

I got the idea

From fiction

Some days

We binge watched

Retreads of future

Museums

Felt

Barely held

To be passing

You need to do

Better than that

This facility demands

Attention

Tom McGlynn

Saturday, December 27, 2014

There is no question

(This is the other side)

As paid by those

Better told

And arrested

Accumulating

Enough

This world

A tiny bit towards

Life preserves

And floating

Fades

Overall purpose
Remains

A dead subject

To raise

Mother, come

Make my bed

Soon

Farther a few

Charming men
Appear angry
With boxes

Tom McGlynn

Learn how

To respond

As first light

Goes flying

Nothing wasted

Finding what stuck

I’ll dig them out

Rather than

Material things

A headless loop

The state, waking

Recoils

On the banks

Where this was

Taken

Tom McGlynn

Friday, December 26, 2014

A hold was placed

Regardless

“We are losing our stars”

A lot made

Out of skilled work

For the basic

Infrastructure

Does in fact

Reveal heroes

Not great

At having

A boss

Sure there

Is patience

For a one time

Oldest story

Should everyone

Turn on delight

With that—here is an ought (after Emily Dickinson)

With that—here is an ought

To Poverty align

A Silence with a Thought

Together— with a Sign

Who would shun—to choose

Sums greater than a Part

Which knot Omit— too loose

Whose end denies the Art?

You made a way to Tie

Your Mind to coalesce—

Of course— to fast its Die

A Shape to nothing dress

Tom McGlynn

Friday, December 19, 2014

The point

You seem

To make

There is no

Crying in art

If bundled up

One learned

In the afflictions

Of man

Estimates of death

And lapidary

Good cheer

Tom McGlynn

I gotta roll

Tongue in groove

The amount I owe

My latest book

Unlike

The most

In case

You missed

This photo

Taken

No reason

To be surprised

How about trying

What’s presented here

The shallows

Of my depths

The biggest depression

Triggers great

But terribly

Recovered

There was something

Deep innovation

Just beyond

That defile

A general sense

Otherwise

Disabled

Tilled the last

Weak classic

New songs

To teach science

Labor on

In visible

Tom McGlynn

Sunday, December 14, 2014

But contain vague

When I hear

Some one

Absolutely true

Beating me to

Amplify my voice

Slammed

To ground

My subject

On the future

Of image

Reels

No live stream

Is steeped

In twice

Tom McGlynn

I am humbled

I am humbled
And proud
To be working
With such
Ego strained

This attachment

May have been

Remove

Even the humblest

Apart meant

Fortune

If they put

Contact

Numbers for

Action

Exist absolute

We delivered

The flaws of

Private eyes

So hoping

To share

A called for

Greater design

Which shimmers

What

You compose

The bruising

Is more defined

Tonight

Please tell me

Your manifest

Destined to list

The shocking news

“I want it now!”

Psychocandy

If you haven’t

Already

Have your honor

Lie elsewhere

Tom McGlynn

A painter

To watch

Belongs

To the theme

At first glance

Colorful illustrations

Look

A little closer

The dog runs

Out of house

Smelling great

Once upon a time

There is room

That’s the greatest

Thing

A standard question

Oh, look

Here’s a short

Peace

I’m not really planning

Anything to draw

Some fire

Tom McGlynn

Saturday, December 6, 2014

For signing

With conviction

A pamphlet

Unfairly targeting

Look outs

For tomorrow

A bush mourns

Smart business

A thicket

Of protest

My official story

There secret

Unspoken belief

Will clarify

An unlikely place

As with all

The namings

Seriously leak

Which they

Making steady

Practice

Run

Tom McGlynn

Strand and earthy

Substance

Laying

On the ground

Marking chalk

No matter

How much

Swathed

Whole cloth

We get

Pulled over

Calls for calm

Watch programs too

Happy to be included

Used to the everyday

Be cause

Its roots

Have joined

The audience

Advertising more

Just force

Already

Budgeted

Not quite

So many

Celebrate

The chaos

Tom McGlynn

Sunday, November 30, 2014

Well they grin

Doodle by bored

Equal rights

Some of us live

Ten years after

What language

Have you

Oath keeper

Presence, tense

Update my thoughts

In this bold

Unoriginal rethinking

Other than eternal

Admiration shades

Scrap last one

A no

A series of

Painted objects

Spending some

Years in the cut

All the good

Wishes to fold

And put away

While you’re waiting

Mid-season

I’m shortly off

To print a

First encounter

Chewing on straw

One more shout

Out!

Commits them

To memory

Tom McGlynn

The horse

Woke up

To find

Beings introduced

To poetry

Led from civilization

To savagery

Before the cart

Assembled

Have no fear

The butcher sings

I want all of life

To be this table

To put the word

Thanks together

You should do

A book kind

Of rakish

Tom McGlynn

Saturday, November 22, 2014

Within the framework

You offer

Today we are

Celebrating

Every time

You offer

The same level

Of generality

You offer

Tom McGlynn

Friday, November 21, 2014

The idea was

That the kids

Would spoke

This terrible wheel

Should staples now

Indicate conclusion?

They had dreamed

Of lost interest

Missing

From this debate

Blindingly brilliant

And spent

Currently expensive

Research is applied

To govern unchecked

While in country

I hope you are okay

With camping out

Tom McGlynn

Wednesday, November 19, 2014

Where the public fits

Would be

More of a challenge

Usually well-preserved

With mammoth

Apologia

I think

I heard

The rule is

Post a black

And white

Crisis

A comedic tale

Will leave you

Wanting

A life’s work

A new glass

This close up

Chains the dog

About its life

Why

In profile

Plucked

From the streets

A continuous harangue

I’m free of breath

A new glass

Finding hard

To break

And catching

You up

Anytime there

Is a deficit

But harnessed

Tom McGlynn

Monday, November 17, 2014

More nuanced

Then they look

A pair of opposites

Chemical ratios

Saw a huge

Twin accurate

I have engineered

To appear

On new issue

When I compare

Their admissions

Charge!

Only two thirds

Never get to see

The first room

Of small sculpture

Tom McGlynn

Sunday, November 16, 2014

The first part

The blurred

Outer rings

We have all seen

Phenomena

Your surroundings

Are simple

Under, increasing

Scrutiny has been

A provisional halt

It doesn’t sound

Like a real proposition

One night director

Made during

The final years

An out

Of the way

Staircase

To be lulled

Into any illusion

Tom McGlynn

Thursday, November 13, 2014

Let’s all acknowledge

The people you surround

Yourself with

Super awkward

Designers were invited

To order

A broad overhaul

Including a plan

To give

Was the constellation

And its count

A mysterious song?

A wrong hand movement

Is the only thing

In space

Tom McGlynn

Becoming later

This week

There is a certain

Person much

Maligned

Representing diversity

Culture and positive action

Some finishing

Grunt work

Alternate ending

For futures

Complex are

Casual powers

Of perception

Covering ground

Understandably hamstrung

Solarized heads

Find their peace

In wood

Were there

Simple explanation

Tom McGlynn

Wednesday, November 12, 2014

The one who said

My contract was

Supposed to end

Was assistant director

And everyone looked

The time of their lives

Three distinct histories

Would come apart

At the seams

To team up

With all

The windows open

Come hear

The release

Tom McGlynn

Please take a look

My repair to

Modernist dogs

Is beyond sad

And disturbing

Most intelligent

People are

Stolen wages

This behind

The scene peak

We are still warm

On the cape

Art is often pathetic

Tom McGlynn

Tuesday, November 11, 2014

From outside

The warehouse

We find ourselves

A previously secret

Role in revolt

Never give them

The satisfaction

Workers are

Far more adept

If unaddressed

To be hugged

Up against

And spoon –fed

Those discriminations

And disavowals

Says more

About the people

Regardless of the scales

And industry

In droves

The suspected massacre

Is a lengthy process

Tom McGlynn

Some of your

Greatest advances

Can’t read

Everything

On the label

This month marks

Wind wells and

Neck hurts

You would have

To refuse

Which is all

The stronger

Reproof

Long for certain

Or ready to beat

Your competition

Tom McGlynn

I’m not going

To lie to you

But instead

The articulation

Of a “technorealist”

That’s just some

Tracking shots

Swerved into

Other lane

Purely mythical

Accounts for

Institution

That may well

Have been

Were that

A more

Prominent feature

Set of professional

Protocols

The next step

Beyond

Tom McGlynn

Laid white

100 years

Or more

Rejoined

To case

One history

Undue

Tom McGlynn

Saturday, November 8, 2014

He does

Studies

So that

Seeped in

Inferential necessity

Don’t picture take

A multi-channel

Hypnotic

The just feel

Inclined to participate

In the black

And white

Challenge

Was

Titled in early

Human plunder

Has been short, listing

Will be talking

About,not with, you

Sometimes

Amusing images

Know you are

This day

The delicate

And moving

Works of

Unwanted worlds

Stopped before

Nostalgia

We have worked

Absurdly, hard

To open the doors

On the expansion

This stereotypical event

And nobody came

Do you look forward

To how cruel this is ?

It was in

The background

Our savannah-trained brains

Tom McGlynn

Monday, November 3, 2014

Having settled

In over

The weak end

November is

Firmly without us

You need to know

The wind monath

A soul- caked song

Requesting alms

The dead outpace

The sleep to come

Fire and straw

A smoke- filled sky

Fool golden

Leaves and leaves

Unspelt

Tom McGlynn

Friday, October 31, 2014

Had his initial

Collision

On constant

Rotation

And again

If possible

Traveled with

His chromosome

Nearly a thousand

Years old

And wanted

To know what

Real people

Really

Remember best

This picture rings

Deep in my head

Tom McGlynn

Thursday, October 30, 2014

An amazing grouping

Of moving works

Always in style

Finally discovers

My class

I missed the question

Are these books fair?

Unfortunate for some

This setting was placed

Freely for them

A case

For polychromy

Just how distant

Valued

A favorite

Early work

Forcibly removed

Here’s a story

Teach

Tom McGlynn

The fastest growing

Community says

A vast conspiracy

Has done had

The good fortune

At best

We could

Recollect

The world’s longest

Crescendo

Sounds so much

Like an event

Unless you were in

The first five rows

Different kinds of riots

Bleed together

Tom McGlynn

Wednesday, October 29, 2014

I would recommend

Going out of state

The same mouthful

Of vinegar

Has its own

Fingerprinted

Energy

Things are being

Put away

And areas cleaned

There are only

Two or three

Beloved stories

I took along

The East River

Highways exist

Somehow

Outside of us

There is no

Competition

Even in art

Out of glee (after Plath)

Out of glee

Full present

Cozy corners

Cozier huts

Newt inspired

With- slithered, open

Sinner and peasant

Clasped, licentious fingered

Magic and common lightly

If by such care

Would caress and love

The intimate, examined

Unwinding cuffs

All spirit freed

And muscled

No black dog

Returned from swamp

The languid muck

Of the devil’s village

And heaven’s gate

Unbridle

Run there

A sinner slacks

His mending hands

Self- healing

His wounds

Once red

Sacred of hell

Dry, without thorns

And downy felt

Not pestered arms

Run there happy

Un-kinged

Gathering the soft

And gentle vanquished

Bring thanks to the river

Horse- forded

And whole

A boy could immerse

Head back to the sky

Unsettled

Present idiots

Frowning at inaction

Free the enemy

Sloppily by faith in air

Loose held as the unborn

God who mourns

Skinned wines

And river dregs

Tom McGlynn

The material rewards

My teeth

Have been

Did

Which is

To say

To produce

International forces

To help me

Get a handle

On this

American life

Tom McGlynn

They say

They are fuzzy

Reproductions

To exist

These decades

Continue

To meet

With students

Thumbs up

Below

The poverty line

My front door

Has to be

A first time

For everything

Tom McGlynn

Monday, October 27, 2014

We should note

This is why

The shift

The magic

Conversation

Is proud

To announce

Not only you

But every one

All

Around you

Little was well

Known too

This narrow lens

Neither parasite

Nor predator

Whose crime

Was in

Possession

Tom McGlynn

Sunday, October 26, 2014

Mind at

A given

Moment

Sure

Sounds simple

Enough

But would

Be over

The top

Without

A tissue

To dismantle

The spire

Tom McGlynn

Friday, October 24, 2014

How well

Do you know

I own no rights

Any single

Household

Defeated us

As citizens

Next time

You are lying

In the grass

Focus on

The movement

Generally people

Talked about

We hope

To see

You there

Tom McGlynn

Boiling potatoes

Sound of rain

On the roof

Outside of supper

Quiet ship

House

The sea returns

In puddles

A tree flirts

At the window

Against it’s nature

Feet notwithstanding

Kindle these

In protest

Tom McGlynn

Sunday, October 19, 2014

All very well

Accord to necessity

Doubles up

Simple can’t

Afford to be

Two persons

Lucky to have

This need

Who never found

Anything felt

Like this

Before

The bog iron

Has run out

Fresh-faced

Silver tangs

Haft this speech

Split to hear

Tom McGlynn

Saturday, October 18, 2014

Cobbled into

Online courses

Modest and chic

I don’t even

Half the words

Crowded

In the dark

Those who moan

Are not too concerned

The whole world’s

Collective mind

Is about

Being blown

Speak up

You who first

Introduced me

As family

Tom McGlynn

Friday, October 17, 2014

Once they start

Working

The real

Threat

To hovering

Through life

The noble wish

It would come to

An abrupt end

Death came

As a result

Of bad choice

No longer invited

Popular

Assemblies

Created

At best

A ruptured

Poor relation

Used to be

In more regular

Contact

Factions have

Retreat

Into querulous summer

Winter travels

Beyond campfire

Conversation

Tom McGlynn

Thursday, October 16, 2014

Truly going

To miss

Sooner

Rather than

Later

A wish

To thank you

Back safely

No wish

To attack

Those we would

Defend

I’ve seen this

Done before

Remarkably

All produced

At once

A parking space

Tightly hidden

Tom McGlynn

Here’s a great

Aerial perspective

On child actors

What create

Doll faces

Restored

Unlike

A post card

I received

Unfortunately

For those

Wishing to

Purchase tickets

When I understand

My enemy

Enough

The Super Bowl

Is open for business

I saw this cartoon

A couple of months ago

Way after the disappearance

Authored to lift readers

Out of their seats

Tom McGlynn

Tuesday, October 14, 2014

Please come

On down

I learned

As much

As I could

Brooding

Instrumental

Remind me

To wish you

A series of

Late nights

And long

Have they had

Special appeal

Given their maker’s

Lack of knowledge ?

Theses are also

Appropriations

The controversy

To date

Has tolled us

Nothing

Tom McGlynn

Just, an impression

Of individual freedom

What my acting

Ought therefore

To ask itself

Hence

Also made public

A limited edition

Goes

Totally left

A local context

Turns

There are activists

Here

I wonder

And lament

What we have

Clearance of

A level

Of coolness

Tom McGlynn

Monday, October 13, 2014

Interested

In a lifelong

Career

Is older

And complains

Constantly

Apparent

Is truly a break

In realty

Precisely on

Finding

A more singular

Faith

Nixed the idea

After

Some research

All my futures

Lectured

Have embarked

On a question

Pain staked

Tom McGlynn

Saturday, October 11, 2014

It cloaks

The whole thing

Well guess

We don’t

Loose anything

This cruel practice

Through eyeballs

Is way too longing

For brutal objects

Of will

Tom McGlynn

Thursday, October 9, 2014

Try to climb

The heal

Of a city

Divide

Press hold

All questions

When they begin

To heat up

Immensely

Rest in peace

We are here

To help you

With those tests

I’m leaving

The safety

Of my coffee shop

Barely exists

Thank you, brother

For coming

To the opening

Tom McGlynn

Tuesday, October 7, 2014

Business circles

Original

And small works

How much more

Exposed can

They be?

Spongy

With blood

Another

Trying to break

The uncrossable

Erase

This uncollected

Tone of mine

Drives like

It stole

At midnight

While heating

A missionary seal

Sheer coldness

Mobile

Suspected none

So full

Of messenger

I will send

More detail

As countless

Links

Tom McGlynn

Monday, October 6, 2014

Repeated efforts

To arrange

What helped

Make that possible

My walk home

Lost its nerve

And dynamited

Resemblance

Obviously parochial

One of my favorite treats

Can't wait to show off

An open-ended quality

Chalky white

And ducted

By some sense

Of personality

Dulled out

And doesn't care

For serious readers

Every little thing

Depicts what

I remind myself

Is a feat

Of engineering

As if they were still

Alive

Tom McGlynn
