The river still (April 24, 2010)

the river still.
leaving nothing
to unwind,
Should I have forseen
such a long gracious gravity
there will be no more singing
only a parted slightly
as though anything

can be explained

A messenger emerged (April 20, 2010)

a messenger emerged
flushed with instance,
it was umber
come I have
the strength of stones
and a torrent
of shivered memories
stretched with
the echo of

several centuries.
