Longevity
claims radio voice
increases with affinity
for falling
lose your resistance
(chuckle cough button)
unbuckle stability.

Cancel meeting
interest drags
feigned protest
weak against fluorescent buzz
instead—-library
ET connection
infant index
and Carver.

I am tree
subtle desert alien
awaiting signal from
cloud base
I am warm blood
vague invisible
standing petrified
among you.

Do not speak now
dawn whispers
wind verses
morning birth
renewing promises
temple bells
soaring multitudes
carry your
song.

Camera sways
weighty neck
worldview
thru filtered lens
slip between
looking under
veil camouflage
dirt flat silence
rising.

Overalls
blue faded things
blue hanger
closet pants
worn each July
since 1992
documenting size
squeeze factor
so far
all clear.

Before her funeral
Death
some ether concept
still absence
paralysis in lilies
now
I know the smell of dank breath
Death’s
accessible
to anyone.
