snow and humidity flow wealth
deal slow spoken depart of evening dusk
geography gave its classic crowning achievement
banks of breeze
chrysanthemum, artemisia, dahlia profusion
teeming between vast favelas
undulating urban inscribed temple example
contributes to interlude
unafflicted infrastructure officially released
an array of agglomerations and organisms

fantasy spoke understanding
capacity to cope
innermost insulation in the valley
small lessons prepared immune defense
immense swaths of civilization plan
an accumulation of saplings
prestige expanding on the edges of periphery
trees rooted in tribal transformation
movement conceived by branches
an acquisition of blooms abounding

connectivity involving strategic placement, intuitive responses, orchestrated shift
combination of changes to communicate an aesthetic of nature
a perceptual intellectual engagement to negotiate the cumulative effect
the manner in which a sense seems to take shape
through elements overhead

sculpted mindset of synthesis
animates the dynamics
a characteristic
a reservoir of peace
paradise components
dazzling province
metropolis of permanence

white noise of satin murmurs out the mouth of a cave
commotion of leaves from future prosperity
slightly groggy rapids run out of gradient

constellations
quick talking personalities echo out of range
would devoutly expose not long gone gods
as a couple of trout
swirl one cool consciousness, under the steambed
purple dye placid predawn violet arises out of darkness
a brief moment slips over surface level
nudging cedars

sole icy blast bounds over the cliff
arms outflung with all the danger
onto sand
then stepping into a kind of stoop
as earth conjures jagged brink
chronology of the continent, crisp cuff
old corrosive tides
chipped lines

bones of oak are swallowed by gold
dust’n’feather shift in pollen soft sand
under inevitable sunrise

planetary geography and fragrance of history
oceanic compassion embedded in dna

the current held a tune coasting by
transporting possibility
a sigh to slender side
who sits a fragment of its imagination

a mood, a body
rises all powerful arms
tinted with contradistinct textures

polar bear primes
full sized
squints scowls scratches
sticks out its tongue
exalted tongue
bright strokes through the water

white bird
the book the pages the present
a flutter listened for centuries
expressed language
flew with gravity

white bird
contemplated the minds of imagination meticulously
leeway for a stir of wings
between dull lives
white bird
season after season it entered
gracious ways of new government
to consult the fortune teller
this very day

small noise
people upon the globe
disharmony to describe the contradiction

she gave me rueful look in a pretty dress
a spirit i couldnt escape
sitting in a place of honor

springs bubbled among jumbled boulders
headed west on a rutted road

we sat in silence for a minute
i took a breath and said nothing
silence
i stared
i recalled
a gleam below dreams
a small flame perfectly warm

we were silent
i picked up a piece of twig
architecture without glamour
ars gratia artist

tiny butterfly serene and stunning
traversed the main route
traced the curving line of the mountain
deliberately she had met me on the backporch
as if it were the center stage of a theater

she hovering nearby
tracing lines
landmarks

PRN Jun 2019
bullets in the cupboard
minimal

linoleum underfoot
physical presence rising from the sofa

tattered paper above the corner sink
mirror blindly displaying a rectangular powdery brick
sugary hue
dialect of finch and live insects
ocher umber imprint on country such as this

haystack light from the window
somber ray of hospitality

boots
denim
watertower
motorcycle

lip curled
arms a strong rust mineral
flecks of gold leaf
he equaled thunder under the proper conditions
he guzzles watermelon with fresh zeal
persuades five hundred dollars on the sly
smells new mexico road grease

every thread of his wardrobe aimed to the shotgun
asphalt

he admires a world rugged and unwavering
hard edged hazy picture
a porch that doesnt creak
landscape blistered by battles

a dog walks the pavement in search of a skull
focused on immortal career
royal and faithful

butterscotch rock formations
blush color scheme
buffalo sandstone
cattails carefully confined in the hillside pond
growing fierce green
hands and knees disappeared for three or four minutes
at twenty feet deep eyes widen
dim recognition
there was an accompanying sensation
familiar
the mud

churn dive and surface
a common phenomenon the man had endured

a reticent paw still walks the side of the road

dominion of stillness centered at spatial crossroads
wispiest clouds
loose stitchery
stops over a particular prairie
she had to rest on the low ridges
balanced on spire

a wheezy *****
wove
shot into the air
outlying on the outskirts of town
rooftop factory rust heap
industrial individual
coal crescendo
mass of ash powdered pages
blues notes
regimental tenor
risen to the stars
what are up above

certain smells
spray paint
gasoline
solitary
then suddenly disappearing
fluorescently lit
prone to proliferate
whispering smoke
vaguely prominent
perpetual odor of breath
sinister aluminum chromium menthol in his lungs
known vehement vintage broken bottle shore

articulate nocturnal dog of unknown origin
a guard dog
essential to the territory of his ears
disrespectful
accusatory
uninhibited
pure spirit spurting gore
he broke the silence with an outburst

a vision stole glances
insinuating high definition

extending and contracting
to and fro to and fro
in the realm of rocks

a duo
gradually move out of myth if in everyday reality

rove desert legend
following one another beneath the sun

gold teeth
sheathed in flesh and blood
diamond embroidered

and silver fang crescents
twisted moonlit emeralds
crystallized into perspective

their identified speak
their experience technique
their could tell tendencies
their filled mental memories

the direct route of iron
PRN Jun 2019
iron
anchor
concrete
metal into angles
fitting
welding
fitting again
cut shaped into quiet chain
whose sum is far more difficult to achieve than each of its parts

the fireplace
shes all woman
a woman violent and gentle
elegant and inspiring
she warmed several generations
puffed fragrant pine smoke
hammered sheet metal
patchwork of gold and red
autumn and anvil

— The End —
