my
body-
long, thin, red.
pale bones creak, alone-
i surrender these phalanges
to azure skies,
susurrus winds,
babbling water,
crooked trees
and your
strong
hands.

waiting for waves to
tickle my feet.

Pricked me to attention
Where I watched
A late summer cicada
In a depression of
Honey locust branches.
Its tail shook like a
Chemehuevi rattle
As its wings clapped
Friday’s sun into the sky.

Queen Anne’s Lace is strong.
Beneath this tilting marrow
I hear crickets and katydids
Playing their ode to carrots
For the passing geese-
Gonking, I imagine,
In perfect v formation.
I’ve sit long enough to watch
Whites disperse into greens
While I listen to a passing plane
And, a robin who hushes its drones.

I watch her wake
Into splintered windcolors.
Memory ends at the barn.
She screams white
Into pale, bruised greens
And trunks four hoof beats
Inside her surging head.
On a bareback horse
I watch her wake.

half-mast against the sun,
haggling my zoom to

From the air-
Twisting it into
Strange birds,
Braiding each wing,
Nested on a field of
Black-Eyed Susans.
I gathered all
This bird’s
Yellow plumage
And plumped my hair
With a crown
Of linked daisies
Today.

She dozes into Adithia
On the red eye,
On the wings of strange glyphs.
Parting clouds and two birds
Give way
To Kokopelli’s flute.
Mother wants to open baby’s eyes
And fly into the keyhole of her dreams
So she can walk with her newborn
Across this pillowed dreamland
Until the sun’s rays, thick as a lion’s mane,
Tickle Ada’s feet.

-->
We searched the underbelly of tall grasses,
The womb’s dark corridors dilated 10cm.
Perfect, round bodies are extracted.
We cut their umbilical cords. They… winced.
Swathed in nurturing arms
We carry sextuplets inside our home,
Their button- buttons already outies.
We imagine their faces, beautiful fractures,
On Halloween emitting a soft, orange glow.

Stands in quotation of barn
And quiet Kentucky shade.
Chaotic rhythms
Pulse the ground- Abbervail Dream
Takes first place at Churchill Downs.

yerk sounds of green,

intricate stridulations
done in onomatopoeic song.

realities of the heart
·
Beached whales, humpback,
Laminate Hager's field where
Lambent feet crisscross
Rows of laughter
And lungs burn
From siphoned haydust.
The words Marco... Polo
Trip from our tongues
Like water from a spout hole
Until someone is tagged, it.
Realities was written for a Poetry Postcard project throughout August.
