torches
thrust owls
from their
blue tapestries
************
sun-postered swamp
stone voices
buy old clothes
************
world of echoes
like a box
of sounding boards
************
sun lasers
scorch
through our
cool tenements
************
a glossy summer
in the black park
*************
in trainfalls
nitrous windows
crumpled crabs
**************
serpents
swimming in neon
between words
**************
a green radio
plays blues
for a lonely
zoo
****************
You
helmsman
lonely of stars
borne
thru the blue wall
beyond freedom
soaring
above the clouds
above the sky
****************
saloon system
crawling to
coalsack nebula
lonely nets
snag
clumps of light
in sinfall
so can a soft-souled girl
touching free-depths
redeem deerslayer?
*****************
in sunken pools
in darker rooms of rain
they are moving
drinking
dry light
******************
as reptiles
coil in chlorine
a dragon-bat
explores the
naked freedom
between worlds
*****************
heard
Jonah's weep
from vast
raw sea flesh
sigh
******************
smoke
time
sea-gull
white bird
where is the sea
the random wash
the huge rhythm
the free leap
sunward
shining?
