stepping out of the homework
is like stepping in to the rise:
run against traffic
and look both ways
keep sharp
the gift of surprise
how its going: rest pt. 5
photography
how its going: rest pt. 4
ah,
the fallen!
ah,
the spin and the faint!
give me love or nothing
which ever is extended
however intended
how its going: rest pt. 3
creation
was and is
the first and only miracle
a fierce boil
on a toy ladder
how its going: rest pt. 2
backlit like this
you can feel the fire
emphasized
from outside the shadow
over your tired shoulder
you peer into the push
how its going: rest pt. 1
vacation is over,
i just know it
i need more
than the word
will give
views: stress
the tension can ease
like a front passing through
yesterday’s weather
off to tomorrow
we don’t join
the onward motion, though
the flow
we slide
we let go
and cameras catch
us leave
from behind
views: bars
nothing made sense
was the last thing he said
all part of
part of a plan to descend
and certain bars lead
while certain bars conspire to fence
in
views: the spread
on seeing the great fan
puffing the fractal
distributing
a common reaction
is to open
and stay open
go with it
views: rooftops
on the 2 train
through the bronx
in the early morning
i first got to know rooftops
the smoke
its structure
panning over a purple sky
views: focus
even with eyes closed
the instinct is to describe
visually,
focus being on what’s missing
what’s missing
a pillow sunshine
a fog
what about the smell
Sunshine and Wind
