POEM: "The Virtuous Failure Of Damn Near Everything"
The Virtuous Failure Of Damn Near Everything
Ghost images
before my owlish eye
These are hard shapes
upon the mountainside
The fungus inverted
with sharp & careful blade
I take my bearings from
the ugly tree 30 meters high
The virtuous failure of
damn near everything
I want to change my mind
A stove a pan some herbs
these steps I’ve taken
After a short gestation
the food the looks her hand
Each new word I choose
hears the cicadas cracking
Please pay better attention
Please be here right now
