    tortured chiseled stone,
    images of lives undone,
    iron wrought, sung low

    these notes upon wind,
    philosophy carries in
    magenta dream, pumice sin,
    sudden gait, lost kin;

    cracked, eroded cape
    storms tempestuous with taste
    worn out minds in haste...

    tortured chiseled stone
    bas-relief carved out alone:
    iron wrought, sung low.


    Reminds me of some of Geoffrey Hill's poetry. Good.

    is the hand of the farmer cold
    it lies chopped of in the woods
    BANZÄÄÄ

    When he was six, he believed that the moon overhead followed him
    By nine, he deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact, no trade-backs
    So this is what it's like to be an adult?
    If he only knew now what he knew then

    Spaces are texts
    interrogating silence
    in our history

    Hobson's Brook, black swan
    bankside, preening breast feathers

    young tree
    through this first winter storm
    bends recovers bends

    a mouse

    i loved the feeling of sudden danger in that one, one movement, and over...

    shapeless shadow
    subtle scent of fog
    death has many ways

    Grazie!

    covered in fog
    unhoed dirt beneath the shadow

    same tramp on the bench
    waiting for the spring
    few of us notice
    but we notice
    the first day of spring

    July park dawning
    warm cider can by the bench
    below a dry mouth
