another poem about tea: blocked highlights

squeeze a swan lightly: neural network

combining economy and finger: desert islands

what’s left of Bedouins: an eye born in secret

sleep and the art of predicting the future: a mountain in a matchbox

part moth part flame: a finger pointing at itself

Martyrs
of the In Betweens
the
furious and the non-believers all with cold feet
what
an arrow a viola can draw
listening
to Saturn my room on a pin-head fills with moths
measure
who
touched by dust rose
the
little that’s an eye and turned away
more
strings and yet her voice still
if
Heaven’s a boat in a lake in a thimble if
a
fallen city on their legs and dogs
who
spoke and went away returning as the white in paper
not
enough birds to tell
adjusting
the apple to cast its shadow along the pain
after
a’ll
for
the gathering of leaves in a virginal place
