Our memories slide along, a tiny bead of coordinates at the join of sliding short mid and long term layers, which themselves […]
The Ballet of Flinders, Splinters, and Shards
Like the Matrix lobby scene As dancing sparks from the bonfire Or the fireflies, when they’re thick Like when you fall to pieces Your pieces fall to shards, And your shards fall to splinters, And you splinters burst into sand, And the sand explodes into dust, Like a supernova of personality And then become spread […]
Proliferation of Puzzle Pieces
Stabilizing over the courses of days & moments & weeks & months Much and more is done, can be done Not to be fretted at by overloaded lists; context of folding, possible against real The rotation of the sun, & the dynamics of push & rest – Rest, one must rest; continuous pressure of lack […]

The Queens
Seeing the falling cherry blossoms – The queens crossed scepters; the glade ran with violet blood One to the other chanting, “Of this but not that, but only if topwise; of questions not exclams, and those times when starstruck; of bakers in bowlers, they say ‘oh, too true’, with djinni and devis, to thine own […]
