a steel moon borrowing
the soul's red shoes:
a wind humming in the trees

07/02/2023
soft wind rippling
the water– a shadow
startling the fish

07/03/2023
ducking into the brush
a cacophony of cicadas 
replaces a circus of cars

07/04/2023
roots and a dirt path
fighting for space
cicadas singing

07/05/2023
thick brush
a weeping
& a stone

07/06/2023
the black butterfly
asks the sapling questions
a lull in the wind

07/07/2023
where water meets stone
I shake hands 
with the tennessee river

07/08/2023
god thinking of himself as a lung
scurrying into man's nightfall,
a gleam of eaten sleep

07/09/2023
the moon pressed
my temple and
i was nude.

07/10/2023
doubt and water-
the fly drowning itself
inside a mirror

07/11/2023
dragonfly caught
in the wind-
no progress

07/12/2023
an ampersand rain:
and she whispers 
like she smiles

07/13/2023
quick rain filling the
sidewalk’s cracks-
the startled bird waits

07/14/2023
a garden-lent name 
given to the dark room to breathe
so you too can breathe it in

07/15/2023
stones,
the envy of silence:
whispers exploring the rain

07/16/2023
caterpillars falling from
the tree into the stream
a gentle current sweeping

07/17/2023
echo?
or is this
grief

07/18/2023
a single drop of you falling
into an ocean of whispers
we are the sum of our small injuries

07/19/2023
heaven's stomach enveloped 
in a sea of pink smoke–
the moth, patiently

07/20/2023
hands melted into a pool 
of honey//trees whispering 
secrets to the stars

07/21/2023
the clouds weeping tears of glass
the burden of impact 
–a kiss in the rain

07/22/2023
attenuated term 
drained creature 
discretion song

07/23/2023
virtues left suspiciously
a great inquest of joints 
and the secrets of movements

07/24/2023
I carry around blocks of
your sidewalk as a
testament to [my] longing

07/25/2023
caterpillars falling from
the tree into the stream
a gentle current sweeping

07/26/2023
the birds singing
good morning to each other
two cars nearly collide

07/27/2023
A honeybee kisses
A yellow trumpet, 
Leaves rattling down the path

07/28/2023
the evening sky
a reflection obscured
by heaven

07/29/2023
the wind sighing
into the trees
smiling leaves

07/30/2023
in heaven a paper chimera 
will have a paper heart::
a river will kiss the sea

07/31/2023
rope sings a lullaby
to exhaustion's blue sky:
giving is its own reward

06/01/2023

glimpse remains::
room for
rain

06/02/2023

sculpt the green windows
of the summit
whole

06/03/2023

skinned like a broken beetle,
a firm gaze,
gauze of april ants

06/04/2023

indestructible
place

inconceivable rust;;
the murder of
precious clouds

06/08/2023

streams bound together
eye the ocean
–exquisite tears

06/09/2023

solidity of skin
a voice stolen
by the infinite

06/10/2023

as time suggests;;
limited sky,
limited consciousness

06/11/2023

night borrows its
color from the inside of  
death's eyelids

06/12/2023

the lost existence of doubt,
a spider drowns
in milk (a day old).

06/13/2023

old florals float
on the backs of
herakles & eliot

06/14/2023

night's awful hands
yearning for the sun
–summer's flowers

06/15/2023

a total blanket of
sky-
the wind is pure

06/16/2023

the bliss of a
hurricane,
sighing

06/17/2023

a drowned sky
dreaming of
an empty sea

06/18/2023

the scent of
an illustrated flower
-a faceless wind

06/19/2023

the sky, callused 
where it meets 
the mountains

06/20/2023

rain burdening the
soil, a landscape
seen from the stars

06/21/2023

the empty dream
lost
in a berry

06/22/2023

the devil
exhausts himself
with light

06/23/2023

bold whimper;;
tonight the tear and stone
are indistinguishable 

06/24/2023

the sand dreaming
of the wind that
carries it

06/25/2023

the wasp borrows
its sanity from
another

06/26/2023

deep inside the earth
-a raindrop
falling

06/27/2023

morning wind
caressing the trees,
a smoke rising

06/28/2023

eyes meeting
the fat bird dances
in the gutter

06/29/2023

mountains aching to be
touched by the sky-
my nose, bleeding

06/30/2023

silence learns its lesson
the mirror,
its ​

05/01/2023

remainder of bone
mathematical & auditory
there is no sky

05/02/2023

desperate
a cup overflowing 
into the sea

05/03/2023

tears sending a shiver
through
the stone, soundless

05/04/2023

wet drippings or razor
what mud becomes
in dream/thoughtless howl

05/05/2023

longing and 
625 miles
of blossoming love

05/06/2023

envy//the rain feels
the sky with its
borrowed hands

05/07/2023

the centipede disguised
as the full moon
my hand in yours

05/08/2023

the Tennessee River
holding its breath
as the wind blows past

05/09/2023

smoke rising
a conversation
on stilts

05/10/2023

a mountain flower hides her figure
((the envy of
candle///light))


05/11/2023

clay made of ash:
whispers exploring 
the rain

05/12/2023

the rain holding the sky
in place-
a fog falling

05/13/2023

skull she moaned
sacred,
a fancier echo

05/14/2023

a constellation of bone
hanging
: life, an abridgment of

05/15/2023

the cracks worry about
the splinters::
the splinters the cracks

the break
predicting
the stone

05/17/2023

tragic rain
borrowing
time 

05/18/2023

a shuffle of wind,
secured desperation 
wearing a clock

death caring for
a flower//
the river waits

life
a
coda

05/21/2023

time wears a hole
into its
own palms

05/22/2023

truth a breath
after her,
medicine

05/23/2023

beating a shadow 
with its own death::
pasture/posture/yes

05/24/2023

windows resting;;
her nudity confused
the moon

05/25/2023

begotten & conquered::
pleiades knows 
the two of you

a study of the apples' 
stems and images–
a delightful jail

05/27/2023

really blood
after
(all)

05/28/2023

rooms approached &
full of dead leaves
- art expedient 

05/29/2023

the hen's imagination
evolved & possessed

intensity mind
tarantella endwise
breathe

fountain:
caress a fine,
diverse squeeze

houses on fire in winter:
I bite my tongue 
so you don't have to

03/02/2023
a blizzard
shouting into itself::
time,too,buries the wind

03/03/2023
self hours dispersed
the air tastes like you
–a mountain, breathing

03/04/2023
never licorice sleep
always a banana dreaming
of electricity and home

03/05/2023
like a hurricane's smile
like an ocean's longing:
a sun behind the mountain

03/06/2023
pale sky clouds dancing
light caresses our skin:
the apple and the tree

03/07/2023
sand dreaming of stone:
twenty two steps into 
twenty two rivers

03/08/2023
wind carrying
laughter::
a cloud obscures the sun

03/09/2023
while waiting for the sun
in night's unique silence
it's best to love waiting
it's best to love silence

03/10/2023
a flying bird's shadow
chases it from below–
earth smiles at the sun

03/11/2023
before one can accept
the earth's soul
one must accept the sky's

03/12/2023
behind every grey cloud
is a bright blue sky

03/13/2023
the wind tickling 
the grass & leaves::
concrete caught footsteps

03/14/2023
and even now
the wind tastes like
happiness's longing

03/15/2023
a nude in the sand
;desperation makes love
to the sea,the stars;

03/16/2023
desire's mask rust red::
the stars beg the sky
for a reprieve

03/17/2023
water finding its way::
the birch tree 
imitating the snake

03/18/2023
light shatters
(the solidity 
of broken things)

03/19/2023
heaven smells your hair
and whispers hope
into your beautiful ears

03/20/2023
a cat stretches and yawns
with sharp white teeth–
it is spring

03/21/2023
the dark dreams of light
in the eerie quiet:
the tennessee river moans

03/22/2023
a beetle builds a home at
the center of the earth:
the stone's wooden creaks

03/23/2023
i leave a glass of water
out in the sun
for the sky to drink

03/24/2023
an opera singer living
in my water pipes:
birds fly in the grey sky

03/25/2023
dust tangled in the wind:
a river dreams of the sea
the sea dreams of a river

the wind for salvation:
eyes catching sunlight

a qualitative daydream
birthing hope's decay
:a smile into one's self

02/08/2023
a whimpering star
begs the soul for dust:
day's gift to night

02/09/2023
a moon buys a noose for
the silver finger bathing
::desperation breathes in

02/10/2023
smelling death's hair the
wind smiles at the earth;
dust settles on no mirror

02/11/2023
[in the grain;:
again ((bird in flight))]
water reflecting the moon

02/12/2023
the wind tells the sky 
there is no life no death
only illusions (light)

02/13/2023
mind not mind (carnivals)
concrete magic or disease
–like many, a cough

02/14/2023
wings flight and the sea,
a fire consumes the wind
and practices arithmetic

02/15/2023
fire dreaming of water,
the stone a dancing mimic
:tolerance biting tongues

02/16/2023
placebo teeth discover
ghosts and oceans:
giving without expecting

02/17/2023
moon held by the tree,
stars held by our eyes–
birds borrow your voice
