we timber slowly in our house of mint
the durable faucet the robes
flecks of chrome threading concrete
rain apron oval shard
bless the pottery
the indivisible platform
mouth my story of wander & collide
vagrant humming
torn to its scribble
even the blatant chords of footfall
the mustard colored finch
reverberate in our vision of stay
it is difficult to right the lateral distance
between sensuality & captivity
even the trees remain furtive
calculation burrows in the body
as all night in the iced rain
the black Angus swallows dark clouds
the perpetual translation from rock to water
from since to until
its all luring a valve of action
the zinc in our bone of abandon
anointing the dainty bark
our scene of failure & conscience
we export what we'd like to be
arbiters of bolts & guard
we furl from one another a source this sail
resolution is crystalline
a gauze of ice tongues the wasps nest
the body is not an epitaph
but lately enjoins a rubbing
the body summons a keyhole and hides it
we select what is ajar
submerged
the bark of limbs retain the trunk's code of mesh & deliver
they improvise
meanwhile
high light tongues the drape of a collarbone
that we have nothing bare means we are restless
the mind is a fist in repose
a pebble slipped from a lemon
we select what is stolen
we are ludicrous
the embroidery of eros & eating
dumb plate of frequent & falter
& this one here
this grainy halo storm
watching a clock
when the chair meets the table & declines
icons oscillate between detriment and forgiveness
hapless din in the bough's sap
a ladder of caution glances your shoulder
no-one while the red earth grimaces
nude and unbecoming
then I thought I saw you
green with scissors
a simple cup the palm extends
snow secrets the weight of gulls
their diligence
the context of frost is splendid indifferent
its filigree rumors our sins
even the zenith of prayer retains a human shadow
a thorough roof a dome such a culpable thing
