Connections: October 12.16

Chrysanthemum! In brazen breath

proclaims itself unquellable

but

its burning russets, coals of gold

don’t make it less unspellable.

Connections: May 14

The vastness awaits

and they must go

in search of their El Dorados

and we must stand back

and hold our breath

in ever-lengthening shadows.

Connections: February 19

Like winter water

mocking the sky

with the truth

of its own dullness.

Like winter water

damned to eternal slowness

seeking

somewhere

to be warmed.

Like winter water

so cold it numbs itself

stops blood

takes breath.

So memory

leaching warmth of the present

with winter water

of the undead past.
