Tracking slows


Tracking slows
Delivery of ship
Meant, not received

What couldn't
Have gone
Better in person?

There are
Usually disaffected
For good reason

On the other hand
Maybe in the same vein
A many rhythmic
Future dawn

The redclap


  The redclap
  Boreds of yester
  Housed
  And chimbly blown
  Revelling tops
  Ov greeny flor
  Docked in
  August winder
  Pained

Three rivers lone


Three rivers lone
Spilt, entined
Sang cold
Hot stones
Nee bending

This block


This block
Runs south
To north
Latterly

Many feet
At twenty
Trod
Up and
In that way
Longing
For shadows
Longer

Mines own
Depressions
Tarn latterly
Raking, rocking
Unavoidably
Sun dug
Tore
In green fields
Awry

Whiling
The marchers
Lurch and go
Coughily
Pulled up
Full stopped
And tankless 
Tracked

Warmer, colder
Hot, hot, hot!

The grease


The grease
What friction
Reduces
To grind
The grind oh
Finds blood
And fat
Mixed
Encaked

Choke down
The weeds
That grow
Like wheat
In waves
In dust
Like foam
Husk- ridden
Mouths of oh

Apeasant
Theethed
At table
Mimes
The frolic
Milling
Ceaseless
For this
Supper

Mouths of oh
Tongues cut
With circles
Scythed
Cries choked
Down
In blood
And fat
Arking
In the mouths
Of oh.

You're here


You're here
For the berries
I gather

I can too
Preserve them
Or trade in
My skins

The family counts
Some
On these
Benefits extended

Bullet action


Bullet action
Class proof
Others brand
Reach

We're giving
Away developments
Budgets too

Dine, shop
And get
Approval

Someone's car payment
Do either these do haves?

Young fingers


Young fingers
Of the tamarack
Are spindly
To behold
But soft
Their needling
Joins the wind
To twist
It's branches
Old

On days that move


On days that move
A wind cannot
Come plain

Moaning hours
Get fixed
Resentfully
Most days
Like this
Tree wickedly

A wind
Steels the whirrr
Of a hummingbird
Which works
So hard
To make it home
Dependant, fixed
On rooted things

Slipping
In its stream
A sea of flowers spray
To drown
At once
A wind
Come plain
