echo lo la… and coffee


this morning coffee sunrise back-lit
a relief in relief

this morning soaked in silence
between notes of domestic orchestration

this morning begins another billion universes
of beginnings

untitled series 2 (2022), part 20

we learn from water and from robots
leg muscle vibrations dock lines wind picked
like guitar strings oh this banjo mind it duels
a never-ending algorithm all neo-formal
this sonnet heart

too fast the cutting thing

the overnight cold wind guts
my old man hip like coke heavy barges
cut the river, stretching the dock lines
as the steamboat and me we groan
our creaky duet
