f l o a t –no precept nor belief
entertain the indiscrete
as an asymmetric leaf — a
tasty evanescent treat
having love in timbuktu
easing into soft velour
rhymes with cure and embouchure

Some time ago, in a Village of Oak Creek far, far away, I used pencil and then photoediting software to make an image I called “Spoon, Water, Glass.” When I post this blog entry it is likely that “Spoon, Water, Glass” will be listed as a related post, simply because I’ve just mentioned it twice. I hope it does. I don’t want to have to search for it, and I do want to compare it to this one.
If I had done a similar treatment with versification, I might have written this:
spoon, water, glass
heavy-duty morning;
stirring afternoon.
images a-borning
may require a spoon.
so they do. in this case
glass encases water.
case the joint and kiss face
if you think you oughtter.
–Well, as Old Lodge Skins was wont to say, “Sometimes the Magic works, and sometimes it doesn’t.” But every time you try, the Magic gets another chance.

fields epithelial and fallow
elevate onward, windborne
and though unpossessed of persona
there is a seeming d e l i g h t
hopping hastening hopscotch
even a waltz-rhythmed dance
raising the sight of the Viewer
Epithelial cells comprise feathers.
