her birthday

I wish the joy she gives
to her returns
tenfold -
a present present -
time to thrive

winter field

cold opens the heart
waking to snow
saw a doe's turds in dirt
she eats the frozen rapeseed
I walk through furrows and stones
pull gold
and blood red chert
dirt
from earth
worth
wealth
animal mineral eye

Kwon Myoung-Won

has a deli shop in america
has an inkstone
a wife
a life
inside


watched him on a table stained with food
clean space
clean mind
write door
over and over again
opening into
hundreds of
quiet rooms

flow





empty and full
follow my mind like a snake,
paths of cloud
and plain paper,
out of which
other
things
tumble down
like flotsam and salt.

prime numbers
stretching into infinity

a sleepless thought

as I watch the night rain

week's end

cold
so cold

0
of India, Arabia, Mexico
is a cold number

cold

the sky is high, blue
numbingly so

here at the edge looking up
and out

into the blue
breathing rises as a warm cloud
and flees south across the weekend
