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?
errant/by any other in 3 colors
he
calls his boat —
my-righteous/beauteous-
Rose —
after me.
he sails this boat —
secure in wood —
downriver —
beyond calm water:
past-harbor-into-tumult/the-burning-
reverie . . .
a floating-stick/flame-on-water —
until — at long/last —
he
settles upon
a safe shore in comfort.
he jokingly
calls the place —
thank-god-the-land-Forget-Me-Not
— &
names his clapboard house
Celestine-the-sky/
she-who-once-was-the-sea.
