related to the first line

something to remember:
we started out with the best intentions

now forgotten

it is enough to climb

clouds are mountains
too

for Margaret Ann

what we become at a moment
soon
cold and clear

all dogs wayward
all nights starry

breakers pound the beach


who listens

january 9

weak winter sun
warm for january
outside
brown creepers three
work the trees
the door
open

death penalty

at the edge of the field
as the dew dries
and the moon sets
the workers sharpen their knives
in silence

appointment

at the end
a rearrangement
a finding
pursued by large animals in a dream
what the rest is

rainy days

the breath of the world
circular
the breath
of the word
glass

full of glass
my lungs bleed
and my heart
7000 pieces
