From right


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

I totally concur


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

There is no question


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

Learn how


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

A hold was placed


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

The point


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

I gotta roll


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


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

But contain vague


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

I am humbled

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

This attachment


This attachment
May have been
Remove

Even the humblest
Apart meant
Fortune

If they put
Contact
Numbers for
Action
Exist absolute

We delivered


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

A painter


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


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

For signing


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

Strand and earthy


Strand and earthy
Substance
Laying
On the ground
Marking chalk
No matter
How much
Swathed
Whole cloth
We get
Pulled over

Calls for calm


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
