The
Magpie
he
collects shiny objects
in his eyes
tin and cellophane
become diamonds
the intrinsic value means everything
he
forges convictions into commitment
then withdraws his membership
cuts his finger with a kitchen knife
dips it in salt water
where it shines
in his eyes
tin and cellophane
become diamonds
the intrinsic value means everything
then withdraws his membership
cuts his finger with a kitchen knife
dips it in salt water
where it shines

You
took down the lights
but the spider eggs still float
in saturated roof gutters
seeking the downspout
release.
but the spider eggs still float
in saturated roof gutters
seeking the downspout
release.
That book overflows
with false testaments
and archetypal folk tales.

You
Should Be Careful How You Turn Your Head
you’re
not a barn owl
nor a toy top
nor a toy top
there are no warranties
for dislocated intentions

Plush
three weeks ago we
passed this way, now
a day like this, only doubled, like any day
and I’ve found new things along the ride
already tried and true, and you and you follow
perhaps I know what you will say
or how you will phrase it
perhaps I will reply with bold letters
the hesitant ringing rotary telephone
all else cursive, adamant, almost free
