"I have always kept ducks, he said, even as a child, and the colours of their plumage, in particular the dark green and snow white, seemed to me the only possible answer to the questions that are on my mind." --The Rings of Saturn

      "variations on sakura"

1.
tanglegloaming here
NO'E GIRZU · extraction
of a citizen

awaited endgame · split tree
eloquent of harsh forces

2.
the arctic, burning;
its permafrost, softening;
carbon is released

dawn colors caught by the ribs
of the sculpture on the way

3.
chased from my password
music from two years ago
morning arguments

if i could just bring this next
big project to fruition

4.
sing of melody
number play made legible
on the potholed road

the brush of your lips leaving
the only time this morning

5.
trans-temporal waip
purple wig & all · one step
from fires of Tlaloc

gas is going down · strangely
i can feel no joy at this

6.
RRAI · RROI · some
place west of Gnosticism
ever & anon

the dull light that might be storms
distant · & might be nothing

7.
nautilus regrets
darker gray on the gray clouds
these books, i can toss

ache in the hands · Wolfskinder
just-risen sun over fields
