(A selection of three from an ong
(A selection of three from an ongoing project)
Erica, snow bright
eye glint, dark tea
the book's white page:
a litany of expectation
tinged by sunlight
the lower edge
the horizon's promise:
a dictionary
a syllable
a combination
will divine:
the dark unlettered wedge
the blood red orange
unfurls on an onyx table
so
pure, immaculate, slow.
**
Finesse, earlier a bike
Trembling
The way I drive her, relentless
She who refuses to bear it
The corrugated mirror over
A confused thought
The baggage to do without
Leather straps, loose, thin
Dispersed.
**
To a sister in Tunisia
The liquid plywood profiles
A thin, fluted tongue:
Two sets of five spoons
Rhythm into systemic "clacks":
The ocean waves curl the surfboard
Into dim milk and wasted honey:
Your one major enemy
Bats the ball into centerfield
Smack into a white
leather glove.
