sometimes a ditch full of
magnificent, cold water
is a slow motion
dissecting experiment
on speech and

anecdotes.

where I saw
the deer all colors from white through

Dear Pumpkin.
if this doesn’t reach you
i have no great news; only
everything is in the same expression
as you left it. every
thing is warn out from trying to
hear you.
Did I hear you?
or was it the
cracking of a locust in Palestine
as he does nothing but
HOWL about the lightness
of your fingers. then

like a whip cracking,

TELL ME SECRETS.

Spring
froze in silence ---
four inches of ice
but, no snow.

Silence

arm teaches

the world

life?

Life,
“light and shades”
When I come out there
I expect
love.
