gloaming snake sulfur coils we lit them in the summer time
sidewalk base root advection scent we went thinking
scenario after scenario imagining, I imagined ...
I imagined imagining as I imagined things
bones circuses, bread ovens hidden
in the tenacious forests between farms ...
limestone is thirsty rock
wolves follow sheep and do as lions do
they eat all along ways following the Sun
season and day to day expression
a string instrumented tone
taut thumb taught picking
a spot to jump in and dance
this is an important trait
when remembering we
are awkward animals sometimes ...
we were just sitting there
quiet faces worn supple supper
slow chews choosing views to go
with how we breathed like windows
and marionettes, we kept getting
the song of the trees, bare armed deciduous
and the evergreens race etch-a-sketch shake catch
and release each dream each time we wander
the wonder and awe sequencing
we coded the entryways
and planted iris bulbs
every November
to remember
nothing
in particular
we always smiled
when we thought
like that
fat in a moment
that was beautifully familiar
