I am carried on the wind and
there’s nothing I do not know
do you see how things revolve
oscillate with me little
sunflower I come in peace
I am carried on the wind and
there’s nothing I do not know
do you see how things revolve
oscillate with me little
sunflower I come in peace
I wake up in the middle of
a river through an indigo
glow I see you there are no
words in your eyes I wait
for just the right time
I send an echo through
the air but — hush
hush
words swirl into silence like
snow
before I decide trot
or kitsune the streetlight
shines on all the tiny
children still counting red
rover red mother may I
just beyond my
reach this place where
promise disappears
like powder downs soft
and inexplicable
no rain
but cold grey I want to sleep
until
a house wren scrabbles at the window
I can’t imagine what she wants with me
she’s here
a whirlwind light and fabulous then
she’s gone
how quiet the sound
of her dog’s wondering sigh
the road
is the same smoke white as
the sky
a girl in a flamingo hat says
“I think that bird is dead frozen”
doors
are frozen shut like the window
your phone voice
faraway and small I wonder if you
remembered gloves a warm hat
each thing I touch leaves
an imprint each thing
(trace them with your fingers)
what is past is present
in these two hands
