autogeography

the sly presence

the wind backing 

     thru the chainsaw's tines 

the insistence 

     on witness 

     on sacrifice 

the ice blossom 

     pending 

the clouds 

     scrolling 

     

the weight 

     waking 

   
apart

     breathful

           the heavy root
                greening

           like

           phosphor 

linear b

if we insist on

bonsai-bearded
         abacus

      or

mystical weapons
for buddhists

      or

human sacrifice
naval warfare

       or

titanic oranges

let it be divorced
from verbal loops

dealing, as they do
with holy mountains

a trillion bells

she looks Israeli
her cocoons
drizzling
prehensile burns

sunny lumens
          over Pennsylvania Ave
blue jays glisten
under iron dreams
enhanced
by armor

bulleted hot core
sends steam
into night
