then

draped lonesome slate

suffering rye sky

blued expanse blued 

reached writing when

pretentiously deeming precarious

relentlessly shoved

perceived more w. more

everything never yearning

more rain

we owned

pouring from faces carved

channels sliced 

drying trenches ruins

then to unknowns refused

traveled witnessed 


Arizona sunsets reddening night

Georgia humid light

jutting cloud broken gold

Alaskan mornings

gentle prophecy

looming lurking

learned a learning of nothing

less knew, never

to know, crying metaphor

instancing order

unbalanced step

sky between fingers

myrtle sadness untold

alienated acquired

guilts words

sacrificial symbol partially

absurd somewhere

found natural imagined world

failing further ignorance

knowing not knowing
