--a sun, there are more.

traces the outline of a

moon.

there are more.

a circle can & will

unburden what we've

come to call any sisterhood,

or brotherhood.

As High Towers Well

sap has to sway in

stiff wands to meet

a white beyond weather.

as high towers well

pitless raindrops.

to satisfy the most private

thirsts.

way greener goes a pasture

for a newborn black sheep

laying there for a belly rub.

Stuffed With Laughter

a comet goldfish

left to the orange

imagination of its own

measurement.

turning water into

wind--lithely segwaying

around a mountainess

jade Buddha.

stuffed with laughter.

Knot to Knot

shadows sway in

column form--as

a welled up bird blows

its voice.

her shoulders roll...

with that voice, broad.

sojourn--knot to knot,

tied.

strongly.

bedeviled ratios succumbing

to the nausea of a grasp.

Tributary Seasons

she forgets to

swallow water

sometimes...

so sparrows can

splash away in

a garden's fountain.

tributary seasons in

a ripple.

beak to seed.

3 Inches of Poppies Are Forecast

3 inches of poppies are

forecast to slide

down a single-pointed

emerald called a city.

a snowy red where the

cast alchemizes a sun

to break into winding

chills of kernel.
