In a shambled
And impoverished future
Life
Was a series of rooms
Which we inhabit

Knowing
Or
Failing to

And
[ in an old folks home, I overheard a dying  man say :

I don’t remember her face
But I remember she used to hold me tight
And we’d sway
Sway
Sway.]

beauty
beating
bruises
broadcasts
blood
yet boiling
births messy
growing hurts

stones are thrown
kisses given freely
age takes you
   or doesn’t .

the world is full of
                      dust

I am full of
         hope
and
           ****
but let’s focus on the hope
but let’s              dance .

in
digestions
of
these days
we hunt for feeling

tryptapath


her dark irises
fill with light


but that’s not
what i mean

stone-sighted
medicine.breath
the snow-fallen
                   heart

   aimed home
             -
and in all the parking lots,
and lonely gasstation-checkoutcounters
the howling things that dare to:
howl out

//:caravan after caravan   
     
            gutter|paths
      into these quiet disagreements
between       .map-made
        and
salt-deposited.as

carrion
               filaments
rake

what              remains.


sticks loosely     atop :

                    the given .

           the drop
                                  .as
effigies of a dark forest are emboldened,
  freshly-hewn
                       into
    the membrane
     .beside the steadied tap




unhindered landslide
wet soiled
basin/
nascent tributaries //bristling
with all the
hunger and coarseness_
of something geological

        dinner is served
            taken greedily              .and
     replenished easily ,            

       returned
   to its mother:who lay now,  e m b o d i e d .
like the slow formation of            crystalline      
                                 ­                         treasuries 
 
    inside the heaving breathlessness of the
              world.
