the absence of forever
is just a bigger eternity
BUT
–{please, just for now…let me finish, thank you…}
{thank you}
all those infinities
after all, you were not incongruous to
were you
Poem
Instant soup, just add boiling water
Instant milk, just add water
Instant color, just add light
Poem
If
All roads lead to Rome
Then all railroads lead to the Eiffel Tower
And all parachutes lead to a dandelion
Blown by a child
Poem
Spooky action
At a distance
Everything breaking into opposites
Charli d’Amelio eating backwards potato chips
Pocket full of posies
We don’t fall down
Poem
A child’s finger
Pressed through window condensation
On the school bus ride home
The sewer’s press against the thimble
Sun descending orange
Through the river rushes
Tying up the day’s loose ends
Stitching flat the horizon
Of sleep
Poem
Curvilinear Dreams
How many
Inversions
Collocate to make a star
Become the eye,
Then the eye perceiving itself
Poem
What’s Old is New Again
Rembrandt selfies
At the Met
Poem
The Explosion
Of light from one direction
Through window blinds
Could flower a compass rose
Or an impact
To the high night moon
Poem
The Manneport (Etretat) 1883
Drinking from,
Then steeping from
Monet was becoming
The elephant
Poem
Water Arrows
Descended from miles above
Landing gently,
Slowly melting
Into freshly tilled soil
Awakening a newly planted seed
As if its first watering
Was its first glimpse of light
