the road is time
road is space
road is gravity too
crumble light into photons spread as a gravel path to now
the road is teacher
a patient road
only road is loyal

old fences new gates
fear that torrent of raw honey
sweet beats me to my dreams
separate we are not we
we are strung together
harmonic crow language
passage
#556. for antoinette before the first blizzard of winter
February 14, 2013
old woman young girl
down steel and concrete steps hope
bloomed the heart of life
moving high in one pair of eyes
in the great alone on the thousand eyed subway train
there is a dream of you in time
in the minds of the none who remember you
my heart leaps as it breaks
#555. short story

he said, the first time i look into your eyes
i must know that these eyes
may also be the last eyes
i see before the gift
is given to me.
she asked, what gift?
death.
then may i hold your hand?

swan
how is it
you left me
here on this earth
alone and remembering
tears are not just salt water
they are the sea

backwards from winter
i break the ice
on the water trough
the goat is thirsty this morning
and the horses in the barn dont want to share
this snow pea weather snaps my amygdala
across time i stare up through
the ice at grey beard me
confined by time
i am wide eyed
#546. and you and i

I.
hand-tame trouble
fail
it will not take long
gently move time
move it
taking a good drink
die little bird i
i was never
much interested
but will have to settle
for the hummingbird who had spent
the night inside the porch
II.
free wild
you will not take long
as before a breeze
will stay with you
in the center
spun
tossed
grabbed
you spent
the night inside the porch
on
going
over the river
i become
the forest
over the river
i become
and go
on
#543. thin green plank

i think i switched
souls with a park bench
in negley park in pittsburgh
but that was 1972 and I was pretty high (up Flagstaff Hill)
eyes still wide
someone will remember us you say
under the paint
I say someone will in another time
entrain us
remember us even in another i say
exploding myth
you say another time
I would not think to touch the sky with two arms
my home is revolution
someone will remember us you say
in the canyons
I say someone will in another time
of wicked problems
remember us even in another i say
exploding revolution
you say another time
