clear eyed patina (1992)

                               

southeast portland castles of wood
porch chipped paint
recycler bins yellow rubber boot
color paperglassconsciousness box checking
shadow frond dormant flower bush cats
crouching on destined steps with infinite variety
weakened of time clear eyed
and involved with soundsgood calling
drip/cascade as mountains are also every gradation
incline/torrential mist behemoth windows
tacked onto bizarre dollhomes banished
to consistently angular jaded driveways
bridges with moats frothing in leaf rot
stickraft stainglassed mailbox slots
eat bills and bicycles
lean with hardy columns nailed truth resistant
portland patina perfect
