hera's hook his hart heard (2017)

Hunting with music apollo you're familiar

Did woo yon hydra, tie astrid's mane smooth;

  Chinookian chieftess to shore conjured particulars,

                  with an anklet of eagle-flight moves


atlantis that postcard you hide under pillow,

our tabla, your crust-tidal history;

  mermen of whale stock, their radars billow

  mars back to whence waterless mystery


scooped indra's net, stars silver-anchovied

atop drying racks celilo arrayed, celestial

                     pemmican egyptians envied)

   in the amazon real piranhas request y'all


Swim, slow swift; dance anomalous under

formless cloud masters, music lone sunders
