I turn my written paper over
and fold it like twilight in the sky
only so much room to glow ink to exclamation mark
smell delicious as dinner hour
small books anticipated, by ripeness already taught~
second pregnancy hands in atmosphere
craving to go through door when called aside
butterfly would be welecomed back
think of diced return once missed
stronger than nature tabbed
by whistle of flies tertiary
tier of understanding
stages pet no stab
{fence experiment
don't worry how to pet a tiger,
I'd hug your posterior approach
dance around together
with tent space shared
translated in arm strings outside
moth by front door
where doorbell would be
ah rather than hello, hola, grasshopper
settled flight shape is as changed letters}
the air is blank until a bird comes by my breath
and its nest can be land I stand on
when I have my chin down there's shadow
but in strenthened neck see sunshine
oh newborn to get that brightness for life
a twilight opportunity of song
you don't have to chew heat of day
know nature fitness or autumn ferment shift
switch of green is like coming out of water at beach
with child seeing tan foliage chipped down
and I cold from slab absorbtion
depressing as no greeting
ignored of individual seque
like clouds aren't watched for uniqueness
when each grey or miscarried of wonder
Author notes
light turned when heater regenerated
by automatic valve, can feel as with new focus
but not like squirrel shadow way of my ponytail
