Inks
of rain;
Life, described,
then realigned -
fits between lines in
unanimous silence;
Choose a word, then a moment,
to edit, design, distribute,
as nothing burns outside our bodies:
poetry as broken intimacy
An etheree mirror poem for #OpenWrite
using Vintage Vanity by Terrance Hayes as foundational text

A grove of saplings
on the edge of the forest
pines for days to come
Secret:
make a song,
gold-woven
with shadows
My fingers
play you,
gently,
a blanket,
blue like
silver
I sing
and in
my heart
I shelter
you, secretly
a blackout/found poem for #openwrite

Some days start in dark,
a blank slate on which to write
in hope of the light
A tranquility
settles in, while wandering
where river meets rock
A mending, in part,
starts with the heart, then expands
into love, with words
Every time he tunes,
the blackbird's singing, taking
his guitar in flight
the cupboard
is bare
bracing for
effect: dangerous
cutting and
cutting and
cutting
found poem from the front page
of the Daily Hampshire Gazette
Just a bit of wind
dancing on the ocean's edge;
a heron in flight
Deep in ground, rooted,
the carrot bides its time, waiting
for an orange shine
