Time Says

now fall, winter: spring is here
golden tales: dusty chimney corners
out west: middle prairie states

. . . . .

Safety Nets

transportation
transplanting  us
transubstantiation

body parts perpendicular
true, false, none of the above
local news from someplace else

. . . . .

Beyond Reason

Tokyo butter: resmelted red bones
rainbow remnants: withered seams

small congregations: enslaved moths

rock bottom sky: stone pyramids
latest chances for Tarzan’s holler

. . . . .

Wiving: Last Words

for the bodies: partial truth
home places lost: living poems
rumors out west: resisting arrest

fields of praise: refasten the light
magnificats: dogwood’s rosy crosses
old Cachoeira tales: mama’s promises
