A heart quarters


A heart quarters
Succor
Four- squared
Inside
Its spacey odyssey

Where wolf- winter circulates
The unforgiven wind
And the blood of ice
Splayed outside
Its astral sleeve
We count on
Constellations
Warming the sky
To continence

O well
I’ll seek the moon at your throat
As you echo through pebbles

Promising independent horror

Promising independent horror
Almost any developed nation
In icy sea caves
So assist great minds
To delegate
Their worth in salt
Cast headless before
The horses of wisdom
Pounding on
A gavel plain

The opportunity has arisen

The opportunity has arisen
For me to fill
A rather large
And beautiful space
Where, less tangible
Efforts can scale

Everyone is welcome
To take 
As many risks
This square offers
Incline that character
Not important 
To its stories

By the time

By the time
I was taken in
By your myth
Matched socks
I was late
In putting on
My flying shoes

Shocking photos

Shocking photos
Of what people
Actually have
Done imagined
I guess those
Early withdrawals
Dodged a mess
Of cold turkey

When does the marsh

When does the marsh
Begin I forgot
Again
Rolling close
By the road
Widened too
Close by
Someone’s crowded
Family plot
A deadman’s curve
Leading to
A reformed church
That kind of linear
Time

At flood stage

At flood stage
The camera
On the bridge
No longer works
Its shutter locks

Trees ply
Tipping hands
Outstretched, downstream

The sky lows
Touching the tops
Of my ears

No song occurs
To my eyes
Nor brings water
To my mouth

Well nothing

Well nothing
Could prepare
Me constellation
Like that
Sampled
Once in a life
Time finding
Just the right
Red early
Detection is life
Saving
This wildly
Original art
At least
At this
Major destination
Here you will
Find texture

Mercy me

Mercy me
Wood knot
Abandon
The cut

Frost out
On the fence
Ants kept mulling
A generation

Tom cat silent
Pads the boards
Under the barrow
Freighted

A maze in face

A maze in face
Transplants
A figure of catastrophe
When one won’t expect
Them the most
A Nam niece
His
