associations

a bush my dad would've liked,
then the animal of outdoors
with bouquet of park ~
petals of duck wings
for no chalkboard but count birds in sky
how many went east west to subtract
to no empty tree but migration

and highlighted gigantically fluted bark
reflects my pilates pull of little ones
breathing the twirp that then shows nine wing sets
I groove oscillation out
to no pregnancy announcement of one month but gathered
by sludge of river as blood
gleaning algae into immune to let glow
come from moving water like drinking fruit
instead of juicy force

milking nipple stimulation isn't real without breast
similarly knowing egg incomplete alone albumen or yolk
but whole photo, way his lips acknowledge my lipase recently

husband says after dried leaves of me shells
I'm blooming verdant as beverly
field sisters fine at forty at funerals
yet concert a song of praise purchased

daughter wants to deep breathe with me on swing
though one of my legs feels stuck from miscarriage
while longing chains
green and grey
that's the ground
this early January
for a nuanced jaunt
alongside her spotting grasshopper
survival of snows for another careful tuck
as man playing with child now, in place

game tame is beyond tickle
more than mercy when our sweetness can be shown too
affording only greens of attached carrot tops
not alkaloid any longer air dehydrated of aroma to room of full
while root is mixed for a sauerkraut
soaking up nature to not smear signature
of works
not for falling together...
