As the birds

As the birds

Less tracked

In the sky

Wandered how

The whole concept

Of air travel

Went south

Like all wings

We lack

Drone from

Above

The inescapable

Bridge back

To life

Impossibly

Turned

This eye comes

This eye comes

Ancient to

Your object

All of

The ways

Your object is

Played with

By need or

Prejudice

Friendliness or

An other

Embarrassment

What separates

A score from

A lottery

Most of the policy

Most of the policy

Making trappings

When gathered

To wage sacred

War on ground

We might find

All together

Highly unsettling

This same

Crowded reason

Forbids me

To corral

My harmony

But low!

The times

I’ve heard

An unharnessed

Light as breath

Escapes me

But they’re

But they’re

All magical

Can anyone

Confirm

Or deny

Thing-oriented

Authoritarians

Welcome to

The desert

The world’s

Biggest funders

Who cannot

Thank you

Enough

Was already

Was already

Even possible

When that’s

Something you

Take on

As with

Anyone really

There’s certainly

No lack

Of silence

Directed at

Sustenance

A dog in

The woods

Shows us

His hind

The broken steps

Of pine trees

Framing

The most beautiful thing

The most beautiful thing

I’ve seen all day

Because it’s 

The one thing

I’d never under

Stood

A ravishing new production

Of jazzified gravity

And so befriended

And so befriended

The horses lay

Now filled

With kind words

Stepping from

Verbal tirades

Into anything

Eternal

Today’s political

Today’s political

Lesson in pictures

Scattered speculation

That’ll have

Everyone talking

Signals across

A fungal network

Another fitting

Death from above

A host of

Non-verbal

Signal switching

Looked through

And strangely

Took

Multiple times

A night

What to do

What to do

With dead malls

That had

Broad support

Banking on

Today for

Tomorrow

The beginning

Of the end of

Modern romance

The Delaware

The Delaware

Is blue

And red

This morning

In light- yellow

Suspended

The green

Bridge- rusted

Orange bolts

Strain in

Flooding violets

Eventually extinguished

Eventually extinguished

By the sea I

Clothed in surface

Tension

Place my palms

On every sure

Warming to

Each swell

Newly landed
