insects nibble leaves—dust mites
rummage foliage
gate keepers count numbers in exile,
composures
exhale, inhale daylight
war has come, in-excellence,
facetious
promise—inner camera, unvocal
insights
posing an inconvenience, terribly
shy, unkempt
unnamed artists, probing my soul,
making miracle uprise—
by saunter, by street ballet, in
decency, in filth, made famous
martyr—
clemency for children, whips for men,
women know
survival—
outlawed colorings, fueled
intestines, sky surgery
& knowing is law, silence is
maneuvering
dwelling in satori, under-speaking,
peace & season
loudness, timpani, kettles, fire
for smelting
most marvelous thieving—hearts made
pillows, deer sentiments
if by song, if unsung, piccolos in
winter, violin come summer
blurring time, each hour clashing
with emotion
pinched in spirit, to hear it is
normal—nights with cello
vanishing in melody, surreal drifting
rummaging leftover feelings, abstract
restless, rebuilding an entire symphony
