January 2013

trickling stream —
the mosaic its flow
makes of me

flea flowering blooms in babysoft white

eulogy lengthening sighs through the cypress

ill winds . . .
stale farts rehearsing
day's decay

perfect love
the elegance
of her farts

fart alerts
measuring out passages
of time

meteor storm . . .
a ruminant ponders
its fate

hitting
the motherlode —
a dung beetle

lightning storm!
the time between fart
and fragrance

fart wars —
goose-stepping explosions
between their legs

fart alerts
measuring out passages
of meaning

first love —
the elegance
of her farts

the hack poet
trumpeting his songs
behind him

ginko walk —
an urban poet
musing through sewers

after the feast
the quality of odour
is unrestrained

wind duet —
a flute undermines
the bassoon

thick mist ...
within it a wanderer
chasing phantoms

rippling
in water's sound —
tadpoles

storm front . . .
feverish fingers
letting loose

now and then . . .
chimney smoke curling
through branches

less than
one hundred gourds . . .
space to dream

plumb line —
the poet aims each word
for the heart

hot spot . . .
the touch of a leaf
on my boil

heat wave . . .
a pond shuffles off
its sheen

night maneuvers —
arching over old boulders,
a river of dreams

dawn vigil . . .
light in silence
becomes light

summer heat . . .
fractal equations
melt away

desolate beach —
silence gnaws away
at the edges

nether dreams —
a noke worm beating
about the bush

first light . .
darkness trickles away
with the dewfall
