Speak of Wondering (May 31, 2010)

Speak of wondering
weaving a pool of
dark shadows through
a finery of floating silver
so that we imagine
the sounds of sunlight
At last the threshold,
A wish so promising

I Am Gazed Transfixed (May 16, 2010)

I am
gazed transfixed
a long time
like a statue,
stained with
something secret
in the distance
everything
the unseen
and indifferent,
the smallest surprises
painstakingly washed
softly on the wing

soundless in the sun (May 11, 2010)

soundless
in the sun
the geraniums.
a faint scent of
black-currant
a semicircle of
gentleness
Remember always
the moment

Perplexity stirred (May 2, 2010)

perpexity stirred
softly rose the parallel
flew from the lightened,
halfway across, paused
now gathered and tied
laid out waiting

the ancestor beside

The night pressed thicker (April 22, 2010)

The night pressed thicker
an elegant black
gathered up stone
until at last the river
silk ribbons of starlight
a lingered moment,

a parting silence.

Your theory of the conjured up countryside (April 18, 2010)

your theory of the
conjured up countryside
the very thing blueberry
Now tell me about the
arrowheads of longing
growing up between
those broken

branches

Late in the day (April 17, 2010)

Late in the day
after dark
end with wild excitement
try anything funny
have the things to burn
behind the disused staircase
welcome from
condemned to a blinded vigilance
I have no strict orders

I am from the wilderness.

Smiling sunny from side to side (April 16, 2010)

Smiling sunny
from side to side
then made for sadness
where is that
pieced together
reunion with the
unquenchable,
a long time puzzle

yet unfinished
