Since we have


Since we have
Split into one
Divers, divers
Still, contained
My hand is yours
Quit trembling
Held ever
Since this
Known before
Your eyes pried
Gods

Plus free


Plus free
What should lay
Two to one
Understating chance
Overfilled

We wander
What to do
With difference
Creatures

Loving
The white
Space
Voiced
For no dice

Let’s not say
“And we did.”

A freshet frozen


A freshet frozen
In a cave
Refracting crystal
Not a slave
Winter summer
Spring or fall
Not too hard
To know it
All

A fly


A fly
In January
Geologic
Making of life
Half cotton
Decades even
Sleeping
Among gods
Skates the glass
Facing south

Another troubling figure


Another troubling figure
Self-directed
Pendulum insists
Chanting
Google got it
Wrong

Shifting from


Shifting from
Same devices
As a girl
A boy
A single protein
A first time
Ever rising
Comparable fires
Each story holds
All records

Few plotting
Master classes
Submit to
Random court
A tour without
An end

Seizing on
A nation
Transfers
Oversight
Don’t miss
The official
Opening

Who takes


Who takes
Available evidence
The crux of which
There are many ways
To scatter?

There are
The future ruins
We can begin
To discern

When is
The difference
No.
Longer different

Some of you
Have praised
“I wish I knew
Of micro previews”
For life was
Served pretty
Quickly

Hated at first
The starting point
Was strangely balanced
Depending on you
To lose sight
Of black boxes

Yet another


Yet another
Vital metric
For pushing
Cool reason
Up to a mike
By itself
A stand up act

Don’t it pay
To make them roar
With idle chatter?

Rely on minor policing
This breath is kidnapped
Using ladders

Suited to the world


Suited to the world
A world composed
And fossil- surfaced
Are shades
Of ocean roil

My office
Clangs for help
Through the passage
Secret copies harden

What a very
Molten paradise
We plow
Saying now
It’s up to me
And all
That fishy aspect

The factory ships
Arcs of reason
Long lines
To bottom
Line
Captivate
Gulfs of diatoms
Coursing without
Current

Light trails
At the speed
Of knots and bows
Marking the twine
Ahead!

Almost every child


Almost every child
Of artists
Rather than the handful
Maybe
A stupid question asks
How far are we?

A fine abandonment
And now
Onto work
And other changes

This piece
And many others
Is now
A secure location
Not gone
A day without food

Means is a ruler


Means is a ruler
When freedom strikes
Odd –eyed and ponyed- up
This after a nightmare
That ran for weeks
Not placing

Only for a moment
A blood -orange sun
Was hung
As though the blur
Was nowhere fast

The emergency use of irony
Comes to construct
Anything it can’t run down

Your inaugural
Lies outside
A narrow stream

A full second


A full second
Breed -strife
Always
Makes sense
The effect of
This game
Since the wheel
Begins today
Reading more
Atmospheric

Let me put this
To you direct
This stuff
Was happening
With the article
Indefinite

A white house
On a green hill

Don’t worry


Don’t worry
Each mind
Is a total factory
With logic to labor

Game on
This morning’s gambit
Angling your legs
More than life
Itself
Crouched in
Elaborate defense

Keep and eye out
For fireworks or guns
Shot and trembling
Many will miss
The fury
And the sound
And the craquelure
