sometimes
too bright the eye of heaven shines 
fold into
it 
like an
ache 
itch
through 
solar on
the roof now 
and when
you're in one 
the oven
runs for free 
what but a
breeze 
encouraged
between doors 
how we are
winter yearning 
open the
encyclopedia at the iceberg pages
outside
every leaf says fuel 
a dragonfly
flew through 
wings of
fire and gone 
one of
those days 
the sticks
turn snake 
and gather
to drink 
where we do
nor am I
flimsy with the wishing 
but here
comes Christmas 
baking in
the beard 
and we
admit life's larger than 
but give us
our moment 
this daily
shine 
and dust 
cicada's
summer in the sunny south
worldwide
tinnitus! 
then water
is measured in tank rings and tubs
thinking's
all apocalyptic 
you bucket
it out like a miser
it's half
the night as well 
blackout
advised now we're under bombardment 
we are the
sun inside 
light even
a kindle 
it's little
wings to flame we call 
gather me
some complexion dimmer 
squeeze it
over me for a shower
everything's
out of tune in this heat 
I want to
get on with the day out of words 
and the
next line calls me back 
I love the part about icebergs and the encyclopedia
ReplyDelete'baking in the beard', the ratchety cicada tinnitus - you catch it all.
ReplyDeleteI feel quite happy about this
