we saw the sea, saw the three osprey
dropping clams against rocks, the sea blocks.

Everything changes, you said it would
come back again, and then recede and
then move on like that, for some time
and you could not measure it, that
it was what mattered.

After pontchartrain, the same sun
over black alder and swamp candles.

Adele shades her son with linen and tin.

Kipling was carried

. . . over the green knoll
dressed with fireworks.

Seven bridges lit-
up from the east river.

The lame are carried in
celebration's shadow, and
all that glitters.

I love you most
in awe-full light.

I feel my name surface from a spring.

In the place where I make a fire,
dreaming the 5 books, star-lanes
cross terrifying light years.

Groundwater under green orchards
(vague antiphons tremble) . . .

A reconciling
source.

How it's going through
the trees keep repeating green

The possible

there

I guess when someone confesses their love
They break the night apart, starry, their love
Blooms into ancient agreements, unmoved
Stellar machines bear as much as their love
Can . . .

2008-04-19T21:16:00.005-04:00

Did you ever see one thousand schools of thought recess
from stadiums to single cells? Wild desires laying down
laws, I cannot prove they are beautiful.

Only that they suffer the touch of love to discover
they are safe, retrieved from spectacle and
spectacularly free.

My grandmother recalls her first job
in Manhattan for NY Telephone
She says, I thought I was it
A real big shot. She's ninety
We're grocery shopping. Her eyes are tired
She tells me a story about Libby Kadoo
at Laurel Creek, who counted on her
laughter. Shaking hands reach
for a can of Colossal Olives . . .

star of a back ward
moving toward an

Coming back from everywhere San Francisco when
I cannot say when, after all this rain. The day rising
Slow like smoke toward a ceiling, or through
An open window, I cannot say when or grace anymore
The table is pitted with want and hinges for
Traveling everywhere, coming back for you...
