paths of duty
wars erode and demean
the basis of the world
to exist

mirroring the rich flurry
of particles bubbling digitally

national park
brrrr the luscious winds& purple flowers
living to accompany
pine needled crags of gentility, issuing
from lands indigenous to igneous vocabulary,
sedimentary minds asilted with starcinders,
fractured colors returning the nest
to the broken tree
from which nothing birthed chaos in the presence
of someone washing the television
in rainwaters, sparkling gusts of
lightning-heavied clouds, and meanwhile
squishing out the pattycake people
so each could drive
hearses of oldgrowth poetry into the
kyoto morning sunrise
to introduce bonsai walmart chains
take photos, leave footprints
that's what the Logos discerned
on the fragile basalt
near the video petri dish
1992

beautiful bushome
with electric umbilical extension
cord
affording light
to play its music thru the daze
of fueled imaginations
under eyeballs painted
above our sleepspace,
forgeting watches and dreaming
the plug of pull,
out into country like treeroots,
working soil
to a soft delirium love
1994 glisan st to klickitat

staying, warm
i cut fresh fir limbs
and carpeted the stone floor
around my bed
in the strawbale room over
looking the creek
&its sessions of fog
as the valley temperature
wobbles with the flight of days
skirting the sun
1998 swale canyon washington
