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
