3/29/13

thin whine of sirens
horizon clouded with plumes
fat greasy black smoke
the shock of the blaze, the calm
hollow morning, good friday

3/28/19

peep of the sparrow
brevity perched on a branch
gone in an eyeblink
poems can balance on the pause
between the words omitted

3/27/13

still the diseased flesh
layer the blanket, wrap the cord
supine and silent
bless the battle waged within,
prayer in the sarcophagus

3/26/13

practice patience, child
walk carefully, speak kindly
daily sneer unstitched
unlock your heart to perceive
what the universe provides

3/25/13

unwanted snowfall
on the dead grass continues
our dying springtime
stuff my ears with screaming soul
bass thumps and I keep walking

3/24/13

ringed snakes nose blindly
lizards kick, the opossum snarls
toothy spitting hiss
fall asleep and dream about
the sprung ghosts of animals

3/23/13

build your own altar
count your teeth and hammer nails
show the universe
that your hands grasp what they need
and offerings flow backwards
