Inscrutable nests of hair
in the morning
Ten thousand tears
and a stale bun
Let's tell each other
of mystery
When a wave takes back
the land we never owned
When I remember the story of warriors
springing up out of a field of corn
When the body doesn't know it is a weapon
only that it is soft
The camera doesn't see inside
the bolt of lightning
Some things occur with no apparent pattern
I'd rather think of apocrypha as works
of unknown rather than doubtful origin
Who has written as many notebooks
as sunlight?
A large waterfall, a cascade
The glistening lens of the eye
becoming opaque
In a murmuration, all birds
except the first fly in the upwash
from one of the wingtip vortices ahead
