    after a word
    at war
    afterwards

     

  • altar ego / blank page

    altar ego

    blank page

    a word for bread

    what species of tree

    broken apart

    died for this? 


     

  • an ear / at day's end

    an ear

    at day’s end

    poised to sip

    the horizon
    on the brink

    incoming silence

    of being
    afterglow


     

  • beginning again / eyes never meeting

    beginning again

    eyes never meeting

    wind dialogue
    with rain

    while
    all the time

    ocean
    with rock

    overlapping


     

  • night terror / all alone

    night terror

    all alone

    dream-decembering

    being
    almost born

    lacking fulfillment


     

  • pause within a pause / figures in light

    pause within
    a pause

    figures in light 

    does the gull
    crying above

    showing forth the obverse

    ensure the sea's
    sea-ness?

    in being observed


     

  • poetry reading / word shadows

    poetry reading

    word shadows

    the sounds of
    a hand-to-mouth

    adding weight to
    the gravity

    existence

    of their situation


     

  • southern seas / hidden wounds

    in the lead-up to lent the ego sets upon the narrow road leading to its crucifixion

    hidden wounds

    El Niño beneath

    the dark night's

    the celestial stream

    stigmata of stars


     

  • War and Peace

    War and Peace

    the other
    he has a lean 
    and hungry look

    brutal
    how we come to bury
    the knives

    i think
    therefore it is
    light at last

    a slice each
    of crunchy cucumber
    on her eyes

    alone
    alas alack at all
    a declension of nouns

    coolness:
    the wrinkling skin
    of vision

    postfixes
    the lingering taste
    of a death

    the writing
    in the tissue fold long
    forgotten


    A spontaneous sequence with Shrikaanth Krishnamurthy

  • yes / a voice

    "yes"

    a voice

    lighter than waves

    to lay all doubts

    the word
    to bear

    to rest
