  • HELLO
 

 
 

what the roadkill is remains to be seen

 
 
 

 
 

pathological briar

 
 
 

 
 

plot twist

the sudden absence

of toilet paper

 
 
 

 
 

at the crest

of the rope swing

I let go of myself

 
 
 

 
 

spring internalizing my revenue

 
 
 

 
 

late night

the cursor

blinks back

 
 
 

 
 

today’s forecast

more of the same

small talk

 
 
 

 
 

fresh grass stains St. Patrick’s Day

 
 
 

 
 

the

rings

of

the

red

wood

tell

tall

tales

 
 
 

 
 

my stomach

in clove hitches

your hands tied

 
 
 

 
 

several beers deep

the drunkards begin writing

self-aware haiku

 
 
 

 
 

dinner party

fruit flies mingle

in the merlot

 
 
 

 
 

Sunday mourning the loss of a Cheerio

 
 
 

 
 

fall leaves cover the base path home

 
 
 

 
 


swooning over the moonflower a pisces a taurus

 
 
 

 
 

sacrificial iamb

 
 
 

 
 

the deeper we go

the darker it gets

kelp forest

 
 
 

 
 

power lines

two old cleats

kick the moon

 
 
 

 
 

infinity of stars

somewhere a car alarm

starts and stops

 
 
 

 
 

bringing home

the bacon scraps

raccoon

 
 
 

 
 

wind italicizing The Rain

 
 
 

 
 

autumnal hyberboleaf


 
 
 

 
 

(un)earth(ed)worm

 
 
 

 
 

the raven arrived to make a long allegory short  

 
 
 

 
 

summer slowly abridging a river

 
 
 

 
 

Friday night

no one calls

but the geese

 
 
 

 
 

young man

says the old man

years are piranhas

 
 
 

 
 

bookclub 

all the characters

driven to drink

 
 
 

 
 

nude beach

I'm the only one

in a swimsuit

 
 
 

 
 

rainy day puzzle

searching for pieces

of missing sky
