freed overnight with droplets free


grazing lands farther
west hundreds of big
animals traveling together.
quiet repetition
whose softest voice
ebbs oceanlike
as the shore.

crown of this,
now, and always
humid to clear,
humid to clear
eyes silver wishing
to reflect a thousand
and one stars.

discus discuss the terms


for my release”
discis laughed
and discus
repeated a
phrase that often
before he
had used
with so much velocity
that dolphins
swimming far along
the ocean floor
could not know
what secret methods,
what mysterious employments
had been employed
there.

Before it had been
something large and complex
to utter
but now it seemed
so easy so decidedly
simple.

true


the height of everything
contained within it,
a single point
blinking like
light,
exhaling soft droplets
of grownsoftness,
grown from many worms
this silk
between my fingers
gleams or
glistens to music
created everywhere
inhales a steady
air of newness
and moves
what’s more.

explain emotion


emotion explains:

“plain to the naked eye
a fast runner,
hurtling across the plains,
seems to insightfully
gain your meaning
the one you hurled
at the world at
large and with it attempted
large things before
you only thought of
and now had received.
A gift from the sky
came to you, you
exclaimed:
‘Oh!’ and passed
out beneath the sun,
awaiting the moon.”

touching only certain textures


realizing only some things
i came to a realization:
i said, “i think
I know.” i knew
i knew something
but i slipped at
true answers
or grasped at
false images
or took pebbles into
my palm.
I’m starting to see
no pattern,
this begins
to make little sense
as i aware of
what goes around
will walk more
around this at
every angle reaching out
to touch.

the stars forming a gourd


hold what?
in your palm.
tasting like lemon
scratched surface
that’s there with
princes’ princesses
princesses’ known as
what? i thought
of this as i
sat at the
window of the train,
and meditated
more on it.
buds of flowers
creeping on the vine
told showing things
to those that watched
on the porch.

one


two.

three, four.

the things on the table

i spy

are sitting going

nowhere.

They one, two, three, four

seconds hours days

count quietly to themselves.
