finished folks


hush I in my glottis go!
quiet you now fox too!

if weight be the matter
then decompose
and file away your
so it's straight, serious
with only little a swim

no folks aren't so
big as they may seem
not yet as fragrant as the red soil
or the sunned sides of little yellow
not as noisy as bluebirds
never yet as graceful

so i'd rather
i didn't
so now hush i
let fox you now too

-no one really wants to be holderlin out in the garden
with a foot of snow gathered on top of his head-

what the white goat said to me this morning


i will whine and smile
watch me to see how
please don't take me lightly
i'm composed of solemn solidity
and
smell fantastic in the march sun
come on
belly down now
let's settle this morning
in the hoofing of hay

woops, looks like it's about time to take the reins again.
otherwise, this great big bird of the world will get out
from under me, and well, wouldn't it be a shame to be
midair with the globe beside me, all feathered and oiled
so as to avoid the saturation of rain and fog, while I?
a patch of mess? soak it all in without even toes?

what we talk about in your made up room


tight
it's harder to

cross-country-ski
more so than run

single
knee over
single
knee over
knee

draped in
say, I adore,
say, Easy,
fishing hooks
thumb tacks
clothes pins

say isn't this
these easy steps
this fast pace out
onto the yard
of visual pieces

say, you say,
here, eat this,
it's mere skis,
meager shuffle

when I look down
the plane of snow is
all white, all over,
without
the image
of blades (grass)
I try rather triangles
rather cross hill
drag snow
over snow

I make no more nor less nothing
