Robins fighting

near the pin cherry, in midair.


Nabatea

the subtle drops within bell cisterns hold
fluid women and water.
buried here a lost city - stillborn stone.

alone.



port

Snaking under the collarbone,
lifting out of the skin,
the port begins with
collapse,
begins
with
lost.

I have fears of surrender.

He's lost 6 pounds.
His body lifts as I unwrap the arm with the bloody tube.

the bloody tubes

the clear clean poisons

the constant mediation of the puncture

I have fears of undertow and deflation,

of us, port side

done.

say one thing

i love you
on my mind
all the time

in the garden

white throated
vesper
sparrows
returning
junco
vireo

"ground-loving"
ovenbird
wood
wood thrush
wren
then
brown creeper
brown ground
sound
downy
woodpecker

this one
the color of the crushed
yellow
leaves

they are sieves
birds
in the
garden
