home q

 

home 1

can’t put my foot down 

on anything hard the bone that sticks out 

until the alarm I cheat

pushing clouds from a central core 

of blue sky in an organless body 

with doves if I’m lucky


home 2

the sunny corner of a wooden table

before the kitchen window I will look out 

in love, depending on strength the hardwood 

I apply years of wear now how I want years of—


home 2a

the shop table from a grade school fully tagged

how Katya put it in her kitchen it’s soft surface

where I make your birthday card and sing oh

california so home especially when sung


home 3

I've been so dust to dust

as medicine for detail fever

or love as ancient knot, plus

the way you say lifest life


*home 3a

allergic to scope too like

bigness repped by one *word

it’s dizzy the circles I write

around, for instance,

the labyrinth on the cliff


wind, etc
