Something went wrong

Something went wrong
However your declaration
Slack-jawed I
Partly agree
Go listen about
Movement or mere identity
At the same time
Totally weightless
The sad thing
About making me hungry
Now that actually
Sounds fair

Due to other projects

Due to other projects
When I was a girl
What skewed, reframed
Conventions turned ugly

If he sounded more
Like a real person
Resisting fossil fuel

My cat sleeps

Just like this

An artist and writer

An artist and writer
Whose practice
Merges
Structure of feeling by
Refusing to guarantee
So beautiful its magic
Is in grounding place
A bald little peace of light
All but free
Slow- motion welded

Days of human

Days of human
Construction might
Be numbered

Using telescope
In region
An act to issue
Messages

Having to touch
One another
Mechanic
Who can name
All these works of art

Somebody should scan this

Somebody should scan this
Extracted
Best practices
Sent home
To their bewildered family
A moment of true warmth
Might get deleted

Returning to the stage
Where you pretend to drum
We need a weakly augment
Processed into a single
Insecure solution
Prepping for a psych feast

In case you missed it
We found the perfect place
To start
Displacing hothouse fruits
Unknown

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
