searching

Dark green leaves
Semi-sweet
Two things meet
Shyness and dignity
What did I feel today?

A kid's mischief
A mother's wariness
My embarrassment
In the same language
What did I see today?

Fictional relevance
A perfect coincidence
Me and all my friends
Are desperate for happiness
What did I need today?

Today

we didn't need to make it up,
to write it down, in whatever form, to feel good.
we just felt what we felt,
and it was good, in whatever form, when it was us.
so we slept, just enough or not,
on each other's floors, in whatever form we ended up.
and we woke up when we woke up,
and resumed in whatever form had taken us.

in the village on the hill.

village on the hill

let's sojourn in a slow film
we can lean against the formal structure
and calmly look at things
maybe see each other

let's nestle into the night
we can feel for the finer texture
and slowly gaze around
in these deeper waters

let's reconvene when it rains
the landscape's a little dry these days
sunlight tends to disappear me
the garden needs some tender feeling

slow film

lately
i've been on the breeze
up towards the hill
to be still

and feeling
it's where i ought to be
hushed in the rustling reeds
away from the hustling breed

so leave me be
to craft my simple wares
away from your lightning glares
leave me be

to run free
with the coyote
out in the hills
things will be what they will

something
arrives in me
sensations from other times
images of all my crimes

i sunk my teeth
into the flesh of my kittens
in disbelief that i did it
but there's blood in my teeth

and i'm waking
in the dead morning
blue light alien landing
dawn air filtering in

it occurs to me
that the cats are missing
that love returns only in dreams
passes like a ghost into reality

here i am, left out on the breeze

on the breeze

i dropped a line
"hello all"
and went outside
footprints in snowfall
i drew a line
i threw a line
ice fishing
for bodies in seaweed
my mind's a jar
of kimchi
when we're on the farm
i'll plant a seed
in memory
it's a windy day
i drew away
i drew a way
i drew away

i heard a sign
"what's going on?"
and i went outside
firelight at nightfall
i joined the line
i crossed the line
stark yelling
a body in the street
my eyes ajar
it's too much to see
i look to the east
where i'll be free
finally
it's a windy day
i drew away
i drew a way
i drew away
