Sky Island Journal #11
Beneath the Silence of Light
And light of the wind
A wake of water in water under shadows of fog
An innocent path along the ultimate coast
Reordering language to trace cartographies of myth
With nothing between your hair and the rainstorms of May
Between night and distant sparks of fish
With a rose in the garden and a star on the door
Singing a song of song

Catalyst 16 Wireless Compassion
When the sky is eclipsed
By powdery blues that drip and gurgle
Into immense expanses that go and go and go
On incrementally slow steps to the edge of night
Slips over its phosphorescent cloak
Heats tension slowly drips off the horizons edge
Enough to lie on the bed undressed, a viscous
Suspension of stars framed by a window grid
Sails of curtains on dreams edge
And emeralds that glow ecstatic from memories
Undergrowth marked by a path of puriri crosses
Their madrigals of black moths
Filaments that swallow evening in instants
With sweet etcetera’s of night wind
