without the moon through a window
in darkness
the ebb and flow
of vision
midnight tide
the tug of the moon
on my eyeballs
all the elms
leaf through once more
tales of loss
moonlit street
here too
I am
other
beyond
usury—
bird song
iv drip from a klein bottle
ever a moebius strip tease
facebook time
each day stretches
into two
light lessens in half-lives
wind-tossed tern
waiting in the wings
what is to come
word by word
breadcrumbs
of no return
breath forget
slow infolding
night
musty diary
the you who now
no one knows
ancestral grounds
playing fields of mist
with the dead
with this moon
forever is lost
in the moment
as one
hearts of darkness
beating drums
midnight tide
the tug
of the moon
long white cloud of self unknowing
rere tuatahi
ko aku kupu
toku ohooho
first flight
my words are
my awakening
swan wakes
foreshadowing
cross shadows
retaliate a tale again retold
come, O dogs of war
pave deserts and boulevards
with our eyes and teeth
left without another cheek to turn
friday thirteenth
terror remains captive
in human hearts
mother martyr to the fecund dark
oiling the wheels of the tide
war against my better nature
charting stars
I learn once more
how to howl
