Once tolled

Once tolled
Genesis
Broken
Spineless
Essential
Up rising
Jacob’s ladder

Stones a wake
Unwrested
Deliver heaven
From earth

Who so loved
The dust
Never in Canaan
Lands

We cannot eat

We cannot eat
Bibles say
Take a minute
To think about
Your blessed network

All new activity
Frowned upon
Will be broadcast
With color

The left
Behind preachers
Flash back starry
Social lights

Cruel and unworkable

Cruel and unworkable
The god who
Riots quell
Offers
A signature mix
Tools to compare
The net worth
Of prized fighters
To cellar rats

In the mean, whiling…

A most compelling list
Of criminals
Busy design funds
Razed for son setting
Victim hoods

Weather they have
A catchy account
Does it matter?
We do nothing and
Things get done

Once so proud

Once so proud
See all memory
A step, a head
Technically

No “time out”
Newfangled stuff
Some pretty heart
Wrenching reflection

My mourning
Facial routine
Has treasure
Every drop

Wasn’t such

Wasn’t such
A perfect day
To make entry
Into distance

What means
In which you
Leave again
Worried time

The weather
Has cooled
It is
With great sadness
More decidedly foreign

The carpet tycoons

The carpet tycoons
Bagged
Another revolution
Negative spaces
Glimpsing
Of the sky
Square off/ on
Ethnic novelties

You enter
Mid-stream
Ford trespassing
Sending to my
Lost phone
Riotous effects

When ploughing
The field
With finished decades
Matter becomes
More complicated
And careful

How you judge.

A second opening

A second opening
Hankering center
Not a fan
To create
Little peace
Can think of
Way more
Zombie lies
To tax increase

As they are
Rendered obsolete
Stupid loves
Get super spoiled

You want local
Or limber
Or both
But what you get
Is come together

No practical edge

No practical edge
Can catch me
Beneath a willow
Digging backwards
This site
Incorporate control
On the relative
Poverty line

Such a serious
Study
For readers what
They’ve read
Is where
They’ve been
Little soldiers
Executing
A sweeping arabesque

My kinda random
Draws lines
Of flight
Guaranteed
The greater advent
Impinging

At the end

At the end
Of spectrum eye
Became an over
Night sensation
Stumbling on
A double-headed
Light fixture
Connecting one
House of part
To another

She’s part

She’s part
Of the landscape
Now of the street
Cinnamon, abandoned

It went down this
Afternoon
Her family moved
Away

So sweet and friendly
Once we
Talked to some
People

The story
Of so many
Hit by taken
Shots

The half -lives

The half -lives
Of complex topics
My mad tastes
Physical, daring
Rewarding, glimpses
Degrees in free
Agency

Lighthearted portraits
Of a night
At the gravel pit
Enchanted paths
You fill in
Blank

The angle of
This picture
Way down
In the hole
Not my first
Time to see
This fair

The way we look

The way we look
Jarring
In complicity
Which is
Simply divine
Doesn’t seem
The correct translation
I am
A sending

I do not doubt
My strength
No longer
A temptation
To check
Bolt weight

The men
And women
Who fight for
Our freedom
Sign and share
This petition

That chickadee

That chickadee
In lieu of
Pines
Outside
My appointment

The general public
That is good
Giving
And game

So happy, belated
Some say
Rather than
Isolated genius

Tractor- dug

Tractor- dug
Post depression
Post coming-war

If not crushed even

If not crushed even
In the reddish burnt
I am going to hunt
Down to unsee
The fair
Running through

There is no life
Better than
The current works
On the floor
Of cold waters
Lit in shock
Ray swum

The margin in able

The margin in able
Before it all
Kicks off
Leads to
A national recall

At this very image
I looked
This mourning
This class
Composed of
Immediate needs

How much do you know about the world?

Small works
Can still hold
Reports from
The Revolution

It’s easier

It’s easier
Then ever
Much of your back
Catalogue
Can be read

On your next
Family getaway
I decided
To downgrade
From a galaxy
So far
So good

This is a riposte
Because I am bored

How people imagine

How people imagine
Memorials
I land today
The current
Stranded

Looking to rent
In your area
What on earth
Where those
You dig ?

I mist this
A little femme
Explosive
Trouble thinking
For itself

The blooming

The blooming
Market on the square
Lost its scent
For trade
Its home
In bulbs
Bankrupt

The air
This mourning
Held a breadth
Old factory
Engineered

To get

To get
Paid twice
Such mystery
And power
Advertising more
This shot
Quite painterly

Tried for free

You might frame

You might frame
A portal up
To feed
The wind
Blown drapery

Come springing
From your pit

The law provides
No ceiling
