still, life

as long as I don't try to explain
we're okay, we're alright 
and here I go again

like an ultrasound finding life
--ghostly, quiet, yearning
so sure of myself

my favorite part is when we try
to turn the city into a garden:
birds become seeds,

a river forks past trees dragging
desires, secrets, on its belly...  
vaporizes like a ghost

ode to my summer

the tree golden in early summer                a leafy umbilicus into light                  summer weeks stall forever                   no...
