Mountains swoop down
into clouds
Tributaries rain salt into lakes
Feathers of empyrean pink light
falling on water
Flocks of muddied footprints [Read more…]

A cacophony of officials

environmentally dispersing
analgesic disturbances [Read more…]
Non-indigenous

Arid soil

muffles daylight’s overheated engine
Rolls head on
into empty filling stations [Read more…]

breaks open lips
Tongues split
arils
Lick roots into stems [Read more…]

a leaf blown into rock
before La Jolla was a gem
and human eyes saw shores [Read more…]

plant a tree instead of cutting one down
Wrap yourself up
keep the stockings on your feet [Read more…]
