nativity

thatch integrity: break all as one, pull yields random set, bend stresses far layer laid smooth on near

batter my heart, space
of three breaths' bids

squirrel composition: one leaf, one scored strip of bark, three leaves, sympathetic veins, held up for inspection

this christmas you
whom i do not know

quality of time: a solo tick picked up in conduit of creek

escape of parrots, scrape

the smile leaves & awhile
greening, the birds preening
death a small breath in & the
clothed doors closed

the oceanographer

the long sighted swift leaves impressions of looks
partially over border between back and fore ground
swells populating seas--swivel the semilunar heads
perch on luminous reflective wrists parting strait
the surface of blue full frontal bulbs keenly eyes

map

cilia. the constant transportation &
trivia. just think of it as a bigger

box to house a self, a life time, line
segment. transpiration of leaves

and the coming address was. correction
& the position triangulated. tertiary

treatment and the restoration to the
environ. in the morning the sun rises

& the city's circulation approaches the
condition of automation. wakefulness.
paramecium in the dish.

symbiosis

rhizome, in the root of
call & response this
congregation down the
center isle: exchange
rings & leaves

view

concrete severance back
stoop with broken leaves that has sat there
the gate will not hold whenever you look

stratum

pervasive. clamp. pressure.
leaves a continuance that
rock on rock is a timeline
of profession. clocked
in. blow to the face & clocked
out.
