POEM:
In and out I breathe,
a flick of pixillated light
between these tender eye-lids.
Yellow
screaming in the heat, chartreuse.
It rains it rains and rains
our dry savannah skin fills
plump and clammy pulling
loose
in great gray glassy sheets
And new our sleek green
selves slip off we slip we slither
into rain black shimmer
trees
adrip with thick and plunky drops
With one eye blinking
one eye wide wide open and no
darkling scent of dog this
Time...
no scent of dog at all this time...
I am so fast through deep
green ripply, ripply, ripply.
Knife-nailed toes they
track
the silk muck of my dream.

POEM:I’m tired of piling up the dead
in this bone yard called grief.
You stack the dead your way,
and I in mine.
There’s no good way to do it
that doesn’t leave you feeling undone.The longer I live, the more
I see life falling down around me,
and it weighs heavily...
