seine wisher shimmers (2017)

in lights bedroom softened
under sheets bird patterned sweet seine-wisher
a tree root bloomed bee storm hardened
busy the loom cracking ocean floor sullen twine hell afixed
ocean working wodan dockside tallies in cuts on oak
masts mind fastened with an oar hard as night lost
in the veins of the flower in ice 
the snow of once there a bit yellow under the
weep of shimmering
shimmering
narwhale murmuring night
folding next all craft ignores
all thrust, brow dull, a keel
making mystery cleave to be known
passed, past taken heart plunder
