... how blue and tiny and redeemable everything is, even you, ...
Daisies
... Instead oh hear his wild, caustic, tender warbling ceaselessly ...
Two Kinds of Deliverance

Snow Geese
... I saw them as through the veil, secretly, joyfully, clearly ...
A Letter from Home
... Stars climb, frost comes, and blue jays sing ...
Snowy Night
... and I just stood there, listening and holding out ...
Hummingbird Pauses at the Trumpet Vine
... and his eyes working and working like those days of rapture, ...

... sidled over the pitch of the roof, bounced ...
The Lily
... we cant hear even when there is no wind ...
The Rapture
... rapture the illogical the weightless-whether it be for the perfect shapeliness ...
Have You Ever Tried to Enter the Long Black Branches
... among weeds, and rustle in the wind! Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life ...
Blossom
... into the night where time lies shattered ...
White Night
... the muskrat will glide with another ...
Mushrooms
... those who know walk out to gather, choosing ...
