"heliotropes" poems
I
Sun since discovered, released, now
eclipsed-
-spent shoes & leaves
vanished in
wind
II
It is without shame that I stand tempered
before the fervor
of the sea, sand
beneath my nails/throat heavy
with fog.
..Years become part of the water's process
(this process begins in the center of the Ocean, an unseen thrashing of instruments imitating war, screaming obscured by screaming, cut-
off by itself/bare
intersperse of salts, kelp, monsters without eyes
reside in blackness,
continuously repeating in solitude, where no human heart
can be placed without risk of dissent,
it too, becoming fury)
III
Feral baths
scrape their lyric
into the Dionysian Lid..
Dawns slight flaming fingers/Gökotta/
awake, my features appraise me/an interval now passed for gold
and heliotropes
The Body needs
The World
to hold you
Foreground trumpeting/Impatient Maker
of all which yearns
...now pleading
"Wake from
your underworld and witness
the collapsing of the
night!"

blooming red and pink tulips
with an underbrush of heliotropes
a vast garden incapable of decay
watered daily with false hopes
under blue shining skies
that can only hope to resemble your eyes
