Bellwether

light-river
Lidless,
the fluent graze
of dispersive light,
Braille for the heart
by which to envision,
or, how a river of eyes,
vim and bellwethered,
cite Forgiveness
to tow the pending divide.

Fret

Incite,
the heraldic crash
of the ocean’s champagne fete,
or, how the waves, lattice and white-maned,
sire the sea’s cadent fret.

Spoor

vangelis-bagiatis01
Hazarding a cede,
to spoor feral shoots,
or, Inspiration,
a ward’s vigilant yield
toward a mysterious charge.

Sow

Inviolate,
the shallow impress
of bird’s feet in snow,
or, how love,
in chronic yield,
metes time to sow.

Toll

sudek-5
Winter,
tolling the climes
of Grief’s wraith,
or, how the feathers
of first snow, falling,
chasten the dead
in lasting refrain.

Climes

sudek_lions-court
Grief,
engendering the climes
of Winter’s wraith,
or, how the sound
of white fire, falling,
in reverse, encloses the dead
in penitent refrain.

Fetters

3524495921_fb35b76593
Between worlds,
the vetted reaping
of Memory, where wings
once brushed rash pink, or,
how an angel,
ennobling fetters, loses sleep
to grievous mortal claims.

Filigree

Moonlight, a Study at Millbank exhibited 1797 by Joseph Mallord William Turner 1775-1851

And on the eighth day,
gospel and inviolate,
the Moon went on a bender,
pouring silver chaste
with salve, or, how the world,
toddling due course, filigreed
the necessary dark
by grieving jointly.

Pearl

In the shadow
of a stray leaf, the ribbed
modeling of pearlescent light,
Autumn’s plein-air portrait, in miniature,
unsigned.

Fold

6ad5175f03d4ed0625856864fcf647c4
small hands,
immeasurable in their dignity
and brood,
folding paper cranes
as grief rises
to level tender shoots
