    Summer is never easy. Men try hard with their hats under the sun. What a great crush we are under! But enough to run the blue is open the birds are exploring they chip and slide off into shadows and are lost to us. we lose them. summer is never easy. for those not in it, for us...


    for us, it is the greatest giant
    for our running its legs stood

    we were able to fly
    in the blue it outlined
    where we never could

    gardens pounce
    on my life's quitting
    gray stones lay in wet
    waiting to be eaten
    but neither I nor anyone not I
    can do what they want for them
    on my walk through there alone
    i could feel that the air was cleaning...


    on my walk along
    i could feel that the air was cleaning...


    but neither I nor anyone
    can do what they want for them

    Not seriously, but awe.
    and so a sublime beautiful marvels up but
    incomplete to soul, a cavity is left
    the space outside
    it escapes you so.


    the too easy sublime. the whimsy. the effort. awe, not 'seriously.' necessaries forces. colors, attention. plot and poems. you don't want to be upset later. strange. and what's truly sad? on the wall, things are on the wall. yes, and that's so. yes, so. it is so. and people are staring. the wall is built. and people are staring, to pass and go, narrow horizon roads. leading out, gone in black holes. but people are staring at the wall

    and do sometimes care for one another

    the object and soul

    and who will be who and what lives on

    i do not know

    object and soul

    soul and object.

    You've got to make it lighter if you want to sail
    Travel is a matter of flying above fears
    Crashing back into seas of it
    If you ever want it back you know how to fall to get it.



    Homes aren't made when shivering in homes
    Watching darkness outside as if by telephone
    Homes are made while stuck in blackness all alone
    By making candles into squares and lying down.














    swum in blackness all alone
    as if heavens were a garden
    well I was a fool


    the coldness, seems total
    but we travel to the moon

    upward kicks
    to surfaces
    with better breathing soon.



    at break, better breathing.


    with flash, then dark but easy breathing
    knowing, no tent
    emergence...in the middle of the sea.

    It tided in sometime after the blue wave
    is it too much to ask
    that I get past
    blue waves break their caves
    a curling til the smattering
    smeared fears, jumped out of water
    horizon wasn't wavering
    sun skipped like a rock
    from the high sky over to the side
    it didn't have it all
    birds called
    fished the tides, flew in
    not knowing how to drive
    but who is to accuse
    white wings get confused, fall into sea
    i see someone come up for air
    a peer of me
    a silver fish flashes in the air
    life! last! in our blue
    then its the birds gullet
    I tried to swim and felt the fear
    sink below my feet
    whirlpools, craters, rumblings from shorelines
    tied to that sparkling shore...
    i swim back to the winks made by sun
    and join the sand in growing warm
    before being pulled back to the ocean

    we'll all die in paris
    under stars and moons and things
    dwarfed by bridges as high as skies
    but through which we can still see the night
    that floats above and watches us
    below the bridge's gates
    below the bridge's grates.

    "Hey"


    Looking to the sky
    For nothing
    Winds blowing by
    most things are bending
    the littlest things are twirling
    as if it were soaping the forests reaching
    out and about
    but out of obstaince perhaps
    I stand and look to the sky
    for no reason
    my hair taken by the wind, for sure
    my nose tickled by the sun to movement
    but my eyes locked on despite the motions
    of all, much like the water
    beneath the sunny surface and shining hanging bucket of the well
    that the wind pushing past me is ringing like a bell.



    Susan says the damndest things
    Most days I try to lose her
    I go beyond the sight of buildings
    In the brown orange autumn rain on leaf paths my eyes are glued to
    No relief from forest shedding,
    still bright sun boned, is wanted
    Just to be able to see white clouds in blue skies soaring
    clouds like little ducks
    and not the things I've left behind,
    that is what's desired.



    in the complex forest sunlight
    I could hardly move my limbs straight
    over the roots and branches
    my head was searching for something great
    in a break the sun tolled, the light splattered
    ghosts ran away as the sunfloor gathered.



    I don't have a special name
    to justify my wandering below the leafy orchards
    on a purple rippling evenings
    in little clouds of red kicked up dust
    from the row's beginning to a still red horizon
    I wait with a kind of lust for night's sure arrival
    [leaned against a trunk that's as skinny but taller than me].
    And no one's come for an ear to cut
    or a hand to tear away and out
    the now shadows of leaves shake in the wind
    the branches a bit more slowly
    cupping my face and curling my hair
    the wind over the dirt row comes for me
    between the sea and the town, this is all that's around
    and to the birds that don't stay, and circle back to the waves, and foam feed,
    it's only a little purple patch on the land.


    Nestled near the sea
    arise then, evening breeze!
    I look for it somewhere over the beginnings of waves
    it comes at me from the side
    sand flies on my sleeve
    rides up my hand now warmed.
    the pleasures of the shore
    its gentle population
    of things that don't even exist
    mother of pearl, wind diaphanous
    and sunlight slanted moving like the sea
    which makes the beach no final shore
    for sailors long drowned but
    the dancing crab's life or a young ghost shell hunting
    dared by wind and night, glaring at the green.

    I
    that is the shape of a lighthouse,
    I,
    that would send its light
    over us in the darkness,
    scared, then glowing
    Had I begun sleeping in the day it would
    have been my sun.
    We were just rocks,
    without it.
    Just stooped near the sea,
    without it.
    [Salt, and foam,
    on our personal darkness.]
    I,
    that is me,
    some shape on a house in a hill
    through the window to a tourist,
    to a visitor,
    inside another house by now, and warm,
    I am longing for my subject,
    that great swallower
    that holds night's darkness
    shot and slipped by fish, hah
    oh the sea, familiar,
    I am longing for you,
    where I gave you my dreams on a shore
    and looked for yours
    and yours alone! as the tides came in
    and then were gone, I'm longing for you, sea.
    9:45 pm
    I cannot get you as close to the sun
    as you'd like, sand blows over
    your thrown down bike the heights you wanted
    me to climb the stairs I don't yet make.
    Some mythological loon can swim
    swim well across the curls of lakes
    but still finds it cold and unpleasurable
    it's winter hunting through the bones
    and even fish are sighing down below.
    There's questions yet that stand in the way
    A body did not follow the path born by a body years before.
    Born a boy and wandering,
    hair teased longer, teased by wind
    imaginary friends run through park trees.
    Shoulders pulled another way
    by winds shuttling through cities
    I've read enough to form a city
    made of books with freaks walking down pages.
    One day a sword will make my leg
    glorious by the light of day
    allied to the sun but darkness comes
    by night, so burdensome.
    let the hounds, let the hounds,
    the world would be better with the hounds
    if they'd been let go, if i'd been too
    as their muzzles grizzle I start to go
    oh better, had it been long ago.
    2:14 am
    What of these days when the heart sours?
    Tell me these days what is done?
    When the sun doesn't mean anything
    When you don't answer the knock on the door
    (nevermind that there is no sun
    it is night
    nevermind there is no knock,
    it is silent)
    What of these days when the heart
    is smaller than a child
    when the heart is smaller
    than a stone in the road?
    Between these mouthfuls of bread
    and water
    beneath this heavy load
    of sleeping bodies lingering separately,
    alone,
    flesh clogging ghosts
    and the driveway swallows
    down to its last stones on the between it and the road
    it swallows night as it swallows
    the day's sunlight?
    Which is more delicious?
    I tell you I am eating by
    one lightbulb
    I am eating alone
    my neck is cold
    and this small chair, uncomfortable,
    it needs to be sold
    well, I tell you,
    I've gotten something
    another wave mounts
    and crashes,
    because the sea says so.

    [oh what beautiful waves under the moon!
    what beautiful waves under the sun!]

    9:52 am
    Explorers cold in oceans cry
    For nothing
    and hear the slap of waves below on hulls
    those lucky hulls
    with their whole bodies.
    Birds weave around them,
    their eyelashes shut and open.
    Night rears up and over,
    plunged into the sea off somewhere they can't see.
    The planks whine in their dreams.
    Birds scitter down the decks because the sea is long and there's
    nowhere to land, and beaks
    are hard but soft inside.
    Bones inside cabins hear the call of the sea below them
    return your bones to me.
    Throw us over this boat, they say,
    poetry, or sea.

    11:56 pm
    The day's kisses are done.
    We walk toward rivers in the night
    five feet five inches of skin
    Whom caves do not serve
    Who look to plastic rivers breaking
    and the wet balance of the float.
    8:51 am
    Why do I sit and write
    When the sun expands from my
    window?
    the sun clothes
    hang from much higher than here
    to suck that air in, divert the stream of finer rivers
    is something I want,
    but will never do,
    so I follow you, and travel about your knees, as they walk
    past hills grottos and heaving seas,
    careful or they'll take me, try to mind,
    try to mind when I'm taken too deep,
    when clouds are stolen from the sky for the sea
    and we sit on the other side of a wall
    beaten by the tide the wind and the rain
    and our quietness is a type of praying
    to the only light evident, on the table,
    but there are two more upstairs,
    in separate rooms,
    as the house shakes, I remember them,
    and the world, and I forget you.

    LISTEN! How many millions of fishes would I give you for another two stanzas like that! And how many loaves of bread! Loy ! Loy ! She benefited from the invention of the boy. Lady boy, L, the sound of the person living, the sound of the I interacting and going under, oh how "L" is going under, for intimacy and discovery? Is not discovery intimacy itself? Hermitinmacy, oh hermits, the straight line trudge of the caravan, the dust, makes [head wants ]me look up and left unlushed, to see the hills far in the distance, on the landscape like green homes of hermits. and my desire/ grew and I carried the shack on my back , for brown and green miles . nightmares, fears . but i slept open limbed, like a child . "say to mine no, say oh no, oh to mine say no"

    made me look to the sun world
    [pony rears/sees over the mother's arch the sun]
    I am tired, we can't know very much, but the little that we can know splices.


    then sleeps, like one between the red sea

    his red sea sleep brought him to a surface where above it dawned

    It can rain all day if it wants
    The wolf won't die
    But I saw you do it
    I saw the wolf die.
    3:34 pm
    Crosses, crosses,
    thousands of crosses
    are there this many crosses normally?
    Usually they're trees.
    Wolves, wolves, hundreds of wolves
    Not where they should be
    I walk safely
    though the trees survive
    below wolves died
    I suppose they're less dangerous
    Hold high but less dangerously.
    At least I can know what a wolf is like
    tundra, tundra,
    rain when there should be snow
    and bitter fur becoming twelve parts
    as they become snow
    on a long hunt, a long hunt
    that will stop and start,
    but always restart.
    You never come to my room when you should
    You never keep me good
    I have to feed on bones,
    bones bones, and many woods.

    There's nothing here for you to see
    NO one can give me what I need
    But I can find what I have lost.

    Through the city
    up and down the city
    up and down the streets
    all the same, wave and wave
    from above, it blends into the sky.

    (under the light
    gray cat, on a red chair
    under the light
    gray cat, on a red chair
    red cat, on a gray chair
    under the light
    what did I want?
    If anything at all
    Now I forget
    If anything at all
    what did I want?)

    Up and down the city, up and down
    with a friend,
    and a giant invisible third.
    Love and children
    Love sometimes make strange children
    ah strange child -
    but you're not even mine.

    All the lights...

    (On the road
    All the lights
    thousands of lights

    on the road, all the lights,
    I'm driving, half a we.)

    the living part of we.

    The sun reminds me
    to pray to something I can't see
    my doubt is in its heat.

    2:38 pm
    When I am old
    Of fifty years but no taller
    Trees shrugging upwards,
    When I am old
    Will my mother and father
    now dead, come from me?
    Would I lose an arm and a leg
    for their bodies to arrive again
    Will I be caught
    On the side of the road
    Crashed with the dark, smattered with light?
    If I die sooner
    When I am young
    Will I sit my parents
    In the living room
    A ghost of tree height
    That's what I'd like
    To take breakfast, tree tall
    with some alcohol
    at three, three in the morning.

    As soon as I say I love you I will not love you anymore.
