the poet is a tree
inside the tree
slithering
*
dreams as drafting
the tree’s sway
spreads direction twisting
recitation
*
inside trees
whole historical
weathers
an aphidic tone
as making
traces
erasure cake
*
Eurydice
no arborist
sound will suffice
*
white lines the shapes
slashing the dark
white lines shapes
the making of who
harder in the dark
to come to
*
leaves
a letter
translates
conifer eventually
corresponding with
conversion
*
the pencil
without a pencil
where some foot
presses the bells
supper conductor
without mercy
*
choral
voices bleed out
choral forms
hymn a homonym –
a dialogue of breach
*
cant trance re
opening order
the face is a meadow
the weather turns
*
awoke slow
as the people
a poem
*
crag an interior dribble
metallurgical dog
the basic interruption of living
