2

in my voicebriefly the cave mouth

3

inventing the ignorant drum

4

live traps and dead for the animal in the body’s attic

5

lyrical the blue bends in river two

6

longitudes ago reading strata

7

8

rap instrumental a little sky banging in my head

9

like electrolysis for the verbs in your summer garden

10

11

if only birdsong at the bone margin

12

none the wiser for the a-ching

13

14

rat rod pinupabove his workbench --lubricants

15

plus or minus 5% the zeugma hidden in the human

16

turkeys crossing a field of not-turkey my self

17

yanking up weeds the God of me

18

half moon rockin the side boob

19

20

this side of winter death speaks in our mother tongue

21

among leaves rerun autumnal arms of robots to kiss you in the sun

22

individuals only as individualin this world as individualmeat patties

23

unable to carrythe movable wallsof a drug trial

24

dawn a blank slate born in the hospital

25

26

in the days of the shogun everyone had the same ringtone

27

he added cows now it’s his field

28

albedo hacking the unhinged door

29

another question in the morning on the floor in the light

30

housethepain

31

32

War and Peace while I wait for them to sequence my genome

33

weighing less than a hen or a brain or a hen in the brain

34

her rhythm as in the dark, without a sound

35

with wind around me I reject the concept of fish

36

thorns sourly amiss pierce this rondo

37

38

into agesface by facemy piss star collapses

39

neon boulevard the amnesia of glass

40

Lolitaher mother tonguein my mouth

41

a woodpecker enough for my biography

44

squatting on this moment a Bo leaf on a Bo leaf

having my own wifi incense smoke

zazen I end up reading the wall

the many rounds we make mala bead

sharing my flowered mat a shadow monk

letting the world pass through mudra

leaving me with my merit candle flame

Shikantaza

46

hypocenterthe exact spotwhere they give speeches

melted asphaltI remember my bronze baby shoes

skeletal dome faces frozen into fighting dogs

Little Boyin the Peace Parkanswers his own question

Zero Point

48

thieves in the temple that night

early and always we knew his kiss

when doves cry if they could

would die for u did you

purple mist heavenly

bittersweet the chariot

the temple that night
