Late Winter 30-4

and out again
and horizon
and violet violet unsettling
and rusted more
and in again
and change clearly
and no east winter
and no east river
and no cerulean thirty
and gone again

and petal that
and out again
and petal this
and atmosphere awake
and surface startle
and in again
and gone again
and yellow gray
and moving white

and denominator
and ruination
and out again
and
and in again
and shadow throat
and line life
and mission to
and chain link fence
and cinder faced
and gone again

I’ll be the 50% chance

 

 

Late Winter 30-6

rusted out and bluish and closed
shadow fronds and fence posts

station and cross scattered
rhododendron cinder in the visible

east a crocus blooming
insides missing violets I miss

spring yolk fifty percent ruination
Jonquil day an eye mapped limbs and ashes

impossible north except when impossible
here are 30 pictures of the sky
