Ramifications

When you can't wait for things to be over

you yearn for renewal. Yesterday

she notion she was a goldfish.

No bird sings: we can't hear them

as we diocese them; deafening torrents roar.

The river present the appearances to be flowing backward.

With the help of doubt, effort and blood

(warm vital fluid that mocks dignity)

disappointment is more comforting than relief.

Harsh winds and sunlight torment bare trees

in the evening we gaze at shivering stars

aware that single warm weather can save us.

As a child I lov straws and distortion.

Today, the government

would classify me as politically unreliable:

the difference between visiting a zoo

and climbing in with the lions.

It rains and rains: eyes; widgets; flowers.



Good bait catches fish.

Conflicts arise and I'm reduc to pulp:

there's no individual to whom I can speak of my longing.

Many years of hard work lie behind us

as do the sky-colored hills visible on clear days

and the rose quartz that becomes

animated beneath racing light.

Weightless wings flap the wings quickly while low-rolling clouds

chase a gun-metal satellite The coliseum shakes;

the colossus is transformed into a leviathan

and I lay aside the supplications,

though one can't be certain of anything.

Rivers resign; collection of vapors are pregnant

and the completed opportunity has already transpired,

so a bagful of tricks is necessary.

There's beautiful and then there's beautiful:

anonymous ugliness in the form of respectability,

something we could lay to good use if we wanted to.

Silver bugles are history lamps without a past.

The iron-chair flies lightning-swift.

As the heavens looks down on the rank, imperial empire

a jukebox plays depressed and the mind's ear

scout moors and marshes.

Behold the water; the saturated moment;

a bullfrog sitting upon a stone; cloudberries.

How can someone be in like manner hysterically calm?

Masters of fiction blow up forth: their egos mount the sun

while nations poison locusts, dam floods

Prosecutors will be violated to the replete extent of the law.

And plane when warm weather comes,

continuing isn't easy, in fact it's frequently hard.
