Staggered Choices

                                               Why do we find joy in one another?

                                                       Hear a voice, sound an opinion, take a sip:

                                               tomorrow is a dream horizon.

I am forced to think about a falling

I am forced to think about a

falling 

drop 

of rain,

a raindrop

falling

until and when

Too many of us believe

in purpose without

defining

intent: try

naming every

wave that rolls

onto the beach: try

to believe you know,

anything.

Assertions and Credences:

this is my new,

defunct band;

each member 

is a plinth 

as every 

member before

and every one 

thereafter, 

bearing an altar

richly piled

with mushrooms and snails.

Caw, caw!

Bottoms Down

I had a glass of white wine with my dinner--
I'm wearing only one boot--
My thoughts stray to a juicier, rounder truth.

From the Window

Broken light searing
             Eyes, blinding into green ghosts:

Memories of day.

Another Window

   Venus in the late dusk sky,
               a beacon of night,
                  between early summer clouds.

Glass door

go out to the deck and look up at the stars and
watch the clouds fly by,
and listen to the tails trees sing. 

U.S. 17

        The fill of hatred
Breaming for the slow descent:
         The shallow...waking

U.S. 17

     So disposed to living in the lie's
marrow, there is no demure:
          the destroyer rears its head again.

From the Window

          Sore moon smokey night,
     Still-air heat dissipating,
          Sweating away light.
