9/20

In scarlet again
I give thistles
the length of
dreamy sparks

with slippers wrapped in paper
blinded, I

soft landing
on a well-placed beauty-shrub
while scarlet again I
give mountains






10/3

culminating in cloth, I
broke into the lectern knowing
satchels would follow

in the case of
satisfaction I could live in
that zona rosa not
particular to a city
or even surreal

              oh citizen
open up your heart to right
voting only days forthcoming





10/7

these bubbles aren't bad said
she to the clock whose
alarm no longer

waking I have that button but won't
(incurring a major dilemma) "hmmm"
low grade pair of                 , really

why three sets and
seas give off steam    it is well
to lose sight of the shore to arrive





10/11

clouds lit from below
background for a flock
circling until the split
into two
rollercoasters
back together at the bricked
horizon

I'm not discontent this October
despite the safety I was warned
about in September   "out
of the city there's more         "





10/12

long seeing
book-through, I don't

comes energy
but from papers

migrating on the train
courageous

fundamental goodness
free-floating

I theory inside
the experienced





10/14

and an English
teacher in Spain
and a university
professor
and a painter
and a museum
curator on
sabbatical
and a park
ranger
a monk
