meeting

to make a melody: my only task. i ponder when i should decide. prince and callas mingle with the freeway. singing in the shower.

humidity

the sound of rain—a dampness in the skin. one knows, but doesn’t quite believe, that winter nourishes just as much as spring— within cold bones: hurray!

a friend is coming tomorrow, i think

with clouds careening by, the moon is nearly full. the body aches to sing we wonder if it’s winter, as it rains: this ground, so lush with weeds.

the long workday

relax. you’ll find an island: hollow, melting into waves and blown around by wind. relax. you’ll be right here until there’s no place left to stand.

tone development

no tree enjoys its root-crown being buried and i am no exception. roots grow out, the trunk grows up. big rocks, hard soil create such graceful limbs.
