an unblinking

series of boxes

listen to light...

midwifing dark,

as not to hear the

sound of its child

trying to play out

of them.

compassion is an

undivided word.

made out of a poet's

boxed paper.

A Study of Angelus

a study of angelus

to the reachable Heart

of a fresco.

overexposed with

new colors beating

off a purifying white.

Pranama

as torrents outgrow

their own hands,

frothy-white.

stones go at their

turning, to compel

the force of the rush.

as a mending man

made yogi, joins his

hands together.

Lighting Wanted Thunder

lightning wanted

thunder in

reverse...

just to strike a

TREE.

charred to

foliage.

where it stood.

Unfurled Once

a rose

slips off

her reddest

silk robe.

against the

blackest

backdrop.

her petals

will never

hit the ground.

too vivid for

any contrast.

Looked Over

there is a

worship,

of breath

in sync.

the sides

of a mountain...

moving up

and down.

too still with

piercings

of sky.

Snicker-river

the writhe of a

scale worn to

milk made serpent.

lashing out of a

waterless river.

around & around & around

a stone.

shedding soil.
