Twenty stories up,
the math of traffic
is light-- ordinals
of worlds no longer
virginal-- the sky
awash upon the net
of sight-- a design
of far birds rises
to equal-- dark suns
rapid cast to lose
the time-- and you
return to the room
unswayed-- what is
good and wise if not
glorious-- murder
succeeds a hangnail
not love-- love is
a word of generic
currency-- the moon
is swallowed anyway.

blind in a rain of light
B is for Beauty unbearable
broken into waters
these poplar take as wine

upon ephemeralities of mountain
each December hour

a dataplex of futures
that then sinks beyond ken

which fills the caverns
of soul with somber stain
G is for Goodness uncertain
as a meal to a fly
upon wallpaper bouquet

and fat from Alberquerque
to Nepal
L is for Love of love

of butterfly and mind

more a shiver of contemplation
upon the taste of orange
P is for Pulchritude as etude

of which nothing is but contour
of disintegrating wave
R is for Resonance of rain
upon a snow iced upon a tarp
drawn over elm

pivoted upon coal

sighted in a flood of night

off-white the sky upon off-black trees
the field between
a standing mottlement of yellow
clay and green
as redwings opine aloud of what it is to sing
with voices that were
a harmonious scream of autonomy
now
a coal train
two miles north moves west
a block east a semi thunders south
in the yard's shallow snow
a rabbit pulled
still

the plastic wrap of the stars tonight
holds; the houselights of the insomniacs
as scattered as; the ipod does not say
your name; the wind, o, so nearly so--
the delicate snow, a tease of lithe nails--
the world long numb within its sphere
of confluence; i scent hard at this cold
aftermath of you; yes, o, dark wisdoms--
whatever your want, o, i wish for you--
be it pity or praise; subtleties of dream
or stark awakening; madness or love--
or the bright fury of startled animals
lost within exquisite moonlessness--
the stars shiver-sunder, o, to breathe

cold bright flakes move fiercely
bark bites into sound
foal a history of elegance
plod the slush that ponds upon cement caul
wasp worm and will will thaw
ward children ill with age sane or no
less than half of what you know you believe true
noon ever twins midnight
deer die
task the idiots of convention
moon conceived then becomes newly mooned
mind everything
keep vigilant and strike true
rest when the least of great evils is you
do what you think best--
if that means being moral
in a secular world,
or cruel in contrast
of a saccharine one--
if it means discounting
reason itself, to hear
the rationale of noise--
if it means knives
are your eyes and eyes
strike the film of light--
if it means nothing
but that you die--
may thought do it best.

may your death haiku
be perfect; personally,
i'm betting against--
not because i know
how saturated thoughts
of death crystallize--
they do; you have hope--
i'm betting against because
stupidity's dumb--
you've already died
singing songs of beauty bled--
meaning words of love--
incidentally--
i know to abhor myself.

The prisoners dream of insects.
The chaplain speaks of sin.
The doctor reads of music.
The painter stinks of gin.
The salesman cries of nuance.
The fisherman pleads of shade.
The author hums of Portage.
The spinster spits of age.
The prisoners dream of insects.
The prison sighs of grace.
The angels scream of wisdom.
The winds imagine rain.
The prisoners dream of insects.
The heavens take up space.

He often thought of her as a Maserati,
not in how she looked, but in the way
he'd look from her smile to her eyes.
I also considered the same, but only
after her quiet telling, with her hair
loose and shadowcasting crow upon a snow
of linen yet to be sullied by warmth.
Maybe so, I said. I know your hands
as doves of soap and stone; your thighs
as fields, that if followed, spring
a bed of moss fed upon blood and bone.
Today, I say otherwise: mountain lakes,
her eyes; her smile, night in its kiss
of star. I am math. She is cold and far.
