  • The final horizon

    they found it
    I knew they would
    with their star cameras
    pointed towards the drop off
    where the cold, midnight waterfall
    folds over and disappears,
    they found it
    there
    on the final horizon,
    a single saltbox building
  • July Sweetness

    July comes in a candy wrapper
    so sweet my teeth hurt,
    so sweet that June seems sour
    and August looks savory.
    July mornings spin clouds of sugar.
    I reach out and pull handfulls 
    from the sky,
  • Ghost fish

    Sometimes I have a terrible feeling
    that there is a fish
    somewhere
    I forgot to feed,
    in a dim room, 
    dust gathering on the surface,
    looking like a ghost.
    I can see right through him
    to the other side of the glass
  • Dominoes

    I can see them now
    all the dominoes in the world
    falling toward us

    someone pushed them
    I have no idea who
    but that doesn't matter very much

    my mind is making up 
    the magnetic notes 
  • a poem

    a poem 
    is the thing
    that floats up to the ceiling 
    on a single string
    as I wait for it
    to fall back down
    to me


     
  • Flower-pressed snowman

    There was no time to think,
    the sun was searching for something to kill
    so I grabbed my snowman by his scarf
    and dragged him to the single shadow
    shaded from the midday sun by the pointed roof
    and we sat
