gathered up against her wings; our passages beneath us

counter clockwise ti-tah-tuck-tackering and then the stillness




you can come here too



and be as we used to be
because before is now



mr and ms
on a sunday afternoon




well i just don't know




before i found mr. winton
holding what i thought i was asked to hold





there are moments when we talk with damp tongues
as if we were the protagonists in some famous film with butlers







i asked an old woman where iselin was. she replied i was on it; but she explained, there is another

it begins as a drive i have done before
to a house i now know
with a door that has a mail slot i like to call through


as we do
we did
sipping into our adventure
a doodle within a cup
do you know where we are?
do you know where that is?




the droplets all around
on and on and on our umbrella
tiny ballerinas in the rain
high school as in homecoming
when i was lost
your hair blew in the wind




behind the glass surface
where we had escaped those nights





running
then sprinting
this is where we have been!





there in the wind
between those rocks
the bells across the sound





that's what i mean
we couldn't get home



tied to the bench where we sat
a white line into the split tree




we were late
that day
he knew








did you catch me a fish?
what is that.
what is that!







blue moon in the whites of your eyes





because it seems to me that our adventures were our most real moments










throwing the satellite nonlines to hearsee what the other is doing

is what i see what he sees?
the slow speeding arche
silent light before sound




there are phone calls
text messages
questions
answers that involve driving
bringing things to places
handshakes
stories
games
laughter
a sense of being here
as they both are
when one meets the other on the way to
refusing to be too serious





color stillness grounds the colored twisting





beyond the bridge that allows us; passing into an evening

where they live
jill and dylan




as if flies before the bacon




elbows there and here above tip toed feet





scape

this is my brother



i know not sometimes; instead some




it is the structure i feel




what you find is not always what you get





in moments of one




line line line line line enil enil enil enil enil






the eyes of a farmer and his horses





our harvest of this autumn

faint flicker of a horizontal language i do not speak

appearing in the colors i imagine
as if they had been there all along



glancing from our new perspective


to defy the tidal pulse


push pull desire



cu rr en ts ma ke co lo rs too




a humbled sense i had never known





beneath my morning breath

i became immersed in my own duality




headlights in an evening mist

i woke to watch the river move beneath the shifting sky



we are in a fishing village; people of the sea


to reflect on the flag i know to be bands of blue and white



we will go to the church on Easter Sunday

at night before i do not dream i sit for a while

i don't know where i have been going


but the two seem to be the same to me
*


i am here too

beneath the screens projecting



meet me on the corner of howard and broadway

we meet where the lines are double yellow
lifting with a glance
feet spinning before the exhale
repeating what the other has siad
to smile; look around and be
holding laughter in our hands
tossing pieces of the present into the air we breath




of what i have i begin beyond this moment

through the twists
and pulls
cheeks wound
the turn key sun set
our dirty wind shield pane
we need to get out
are those zebras?
i may need you to grab my hand



machine grind
dobbled yell
yeee eeeeaa a aa ahhh hhhhh hhhhhhhhh
cheering from within
