from Forms, migrating



But

“Everything but sleep.”

                  —Li-Young Lee

And night is the momentum
of halting light’s music.  Acrobatic
angles
     of the humming
-bird’s relevant vanish
          spelling disappearance
as well as noon’s oscillating
               hiding.  Dusk
recalls a memory of hybrid fascinations

: penultimate hour prior to the weight bearing model of rest’s diligent coming
- loneliness to an incessant desire, to the brokenness tiredness resembles within a mirror’s relocating accuracy.
                                                              When singing silences.
A darkened contour
a small circle under
the eye of distance’s
braiding bodies.




Found

Found burning, synonyms.
Using alternate species
cannot overwhelm
into breathing accentuated
nuances.  Always.

                  Embers
         thickened, calling smoke into dance, an
                                    alphabetic purpose
                           spelling
         delay as joy.                  In this company

                                             of halos

                                             elegies transform

                                             permanence

                                             permeating the body’s

                                             pertinent condition.




Winter

Bones falling into hands
lose the prior
priority of angled
assessment, agreeable
articulation of conformation.

Movement.  Warmth.  Pastel.

Newness bends and becomes
a brand of compressed alteration
of spatial synonyms.  The body reveals
an ownership of air’s
reconstruction of portending
guesses, what will arrive
on a timeline of numerical
decency.  Ballads

sing a softened nuance
into listening’s momentum
of finding safe to predict this
home’s interpretation of
winter.
