chance : she dreams : events homeless : time’s thoughtful appraisal : bramble weeds fisting : cycling: dormancy maddening fours : bestiality : no,
but it is only mankind with mankind : a great divide, the evolution
itself : a different sort has become the largest sort : antlered hands :
reaching for it all : et al : so many languages to say one thing:
something we cannot say : mossed : worried world
: dandelions breaking concrete down : crows feet : murderous clouds : a
peaceful way : I read about trees growing ears : a dollop of grey :
rust in her metal teeth : she catches radio songs : swallows them down :
dolls partitioned into pieces and scattered throughout the reclaimed
woods : houses are woods : houses are woods : there’s a forest in your
room : there are foxes hiding in her hot hair : there are beasts waiting
patiently as a storm at sterling crescent dusks : how to make it into
nothing : this dull quiet too bright : the walls were eggshell finish :
waiting for cracks to emerge : for renovation : reinvention of colour
wheels : for the world to let in : for sizzle : for forks and knives :
for taking back the day : for the wild oak to ride out the ultimate
brackish wave : the six news : wild repetition of the same headline :
names like tasteless fuzz on the tongue : cosmic freckles : this madness
is a looking glass : is green sea glass : is madness alone : and
pockets inside of pockets : and doors behind doors : and windows within
windows : and hallways that turn into rooms : and rooms into other
hallways : and bare flesh without lines : after all : there are are
still children : we know : we know : we can’t lead them without weapons :
without trials : without tribulation : without tribes of separates :
without degrees of differences : without currency exchange : and social
security this and security for that : we cannot lead with less : a man
made motto : heard about a boy in the middle east burned alive: taken
across this figurative and literal border to that : we cannot get it
back : no : and that’s simply that :

directions : intersect : lost and found : paper pulled from hand : so many ideas into that : we could run : run with that : there was always some puzzling piece gone : there is always that kind of frustration : of others : of else : of sense and wonder : don’t mention it : a strip of camera film : a sepia negative that captured his galaxy eye : that is it : snaps : trappings : butterflies : dragonflies : moths : all in nets : pinned to cork : boxed behind a glass display : a hundred days : could turn page to a hundred years : just as well : you pinned the wings : you tried your hand at capturing some essence : iridescent dust on your thumb grounds that dead : no ghost : what makes something what it is : and not what it isn’t : I want flight : I search the airport at night : for a free ride : a way out of all that I’ve built up : a blue seam to pull : that would burst into blue cornflower : a hill that can truly scream : wake the cemetery of its slumber : and dance these bones : I imagine : prague : egypt : colours and textures and scent and light I’ve never experienced : I imagine some great chase : some losing it : and some secret memories : that I’d carry round my fingers as stones : to remind me where I’ve flown : though : poor artists stay home : home can be ancestry : I was new zealand : I came off a boat from europe : our children died with sick lungs : one of our young men jumped in front of a train with intent : no blood carried beyond that man : no essence pinned over cork : but a single archive about a tragedy : or was it bravery : I say brave : to admit your death : when the world says you’re well:
