Made of ocean

Made of ocean
Plastic
Find your next statement
Apiece in spiral chambers
Obscured in ink
Retreating
Under-rocked

Then again
Up she rises
In all get out
No need for cheap
Her thrill

Almost complete
On the big lake
I surface
Returning
A dragon fly
May- in

Much of our correspondence

Much of our correspondence
Having considered to become
One by some sort
Of magic
Quietly made history

There are some
Really good books
Laying around
That's how we prefer
Our capital
Feathered
As for victory

Merry may

Merry may
You meet me
May merry
Does it burn

Our hearths are cold
But on the hills
The mounting bonfires yearn

We’ll slip between the alders
The scotch pine
And the birch
May eve we’ll go
A clinging
May eve
We’ll give us birth

Having no proper

Having no proper
Family named
We plaited mint
On tabled edges
Warming leaves
A way from coolness

A wardrobe creaks
Embedded creature
Asleep but now
Restless, stirred
Companion to
A feline plaint

These long- fingered
Plucky daydreams
Sounding board
A dress of mirrors
Rain meant  
For a herald
Jangling

The school of thinking

The school of thinking
Making words
Enduring a conference
Too, cloudlike passages
Art of ought
Set in
A darling foundry
That iron would stress
The elemental modum
Not another call
For papers
Or patent massacres
To drive
The root cause
Of stumble
Rut- down
In a trail of molds

The people behind

The people behind
Your luxury
I imagine
They’re beautiful

What I believe
Is called
The dressing room
Mostly means
Protecting the edges

What are your tips
To overcome sleeplessness?

Privacy terms

Privacy terms
Have you ever hazard
To guess
Cookie
The best performance
I ever heard
Here’s one for you
In thought
Territory
Evacuated of its continent
Love in mind

Had we the chance

Had we the chance
To brook an afternoon
The red-winged blackbirds
Would, a company make
Trilling to the corps
Newt-brown conceptions
Remaining still
Beneath the rocks
Or carried turbid
Downstream

Too massive

Too massive
40- foot high
Diagrammed
A great deal

Block
My own access
Always turning over

You’ll love the truck
I don’t much have
With it.

Spring black

Spring black
Seen
For the first time
Floating phony
Conspiracies
And attacking
Good people

In the desert of the real
I dreamed
I spent
Too much time
Learning how
To prune myself

While celebrating
One million guests
All on the verge
Of brilliant ideas
Got to hang out
With this work

Showering once

Showering once
A fortnight
Shivered in
A glassine slip
Sheer madness
To a year

How can you

How can you
Begin to start
Hiking up
A raven rock
Tract-less except
For a telltale map
Three-story fold
And stone sober

Part of a fresco

Part of a fresco
As we go
Back up a river
Eventually off color
And surfaces
Afar more modest
Imposition
A mere technique
Distinct through
Stained glass
Or from projections
Blown hot
And then cooled

There is no essential
Different between
Sand and its times

It dawned on me

It dawned on me
The artistic limit
At first stand-alone
Reminds one
After math
Of a hurricane
Speaking clung to
Systematically

Steps in triangles

Steps in triangles
Circle down
Spring spillway
Soul in mid-shower
Quietly sings,
‘With this turning
I thee wind’
Brambles on
The aqueduct
