a mountain of clouds (2005)



the wizard's soil in a pouch of water

the moon behind a mountain of clouds made of birds

the muscles that move the eye within



the lake's thousand leagues of unwhispered remedies

the branches of vision seeking final repose of the acorn

the beginning of tying one's hair into a ship of mercy



the rocks that built her body out of milk

the wind in and of itself

the sleep actively awakening other forms



children and parents, grandmothers and fathers,

the food they gathered, the water that walked within them

the sky questioning, the flames warming



the instrument made of all earth and related positions

the ancient enchilada

the hands of a man







2005, the dalles, or
