POEMS:
from Ariadne/Dark Dark Shine. Pelekinesis 2018.
dowsing/we find our way in 5 colors (odysseus)
certitude/a thing so rare in 5 colors
bell/a ring grows around rosie-o
another redux/not-quite-spring in 4 colors
daily-life/drifting in deep-white to no purpose
doleful/even if the sky is blue
errant/by any other in 3 colors
afloat/adventures on the high sea (the new world)
idle-thought/Gray day in 1 color
staccato/every-which-way repeats itself?
breach/black ice in 1 color
abyss
of almost —
the end-will-be —
that/which consumes us
daily without
our
ever/even looking
up until aiyeeeeeeeeeee
we’re
flat up/gobsmacked
against it — a
terrifying
kind of blessing.
nothing to
do
but be thankful/
alive &
to
say ‘here . . .’
to the rest-of-us:
night terrors/blind
wanderings/the reaching out —
(i perseverate & pray) —
all those things
most of us do when faced
with the truth of almost-forever-gone.
here
we are
slip/slidin’ away :
willing flight/the-next
cold breeze.
