Good man – down

Planted

When I found an arrowhead my pure thought was on the earth from which it came and the generosity of it.
To give so freely from the past.
To let me stand upon it in the sun.

The wolf’s back

She slept in waves
Stretching on to the shore
Falling rhythmically through a thousand tiny grains
Of the whitest sand
All the way to the center of gravity
Still she felt the moon pulling her back to consciousness
She raked her hands across a wet wolf’s back
She saw her face in a blackbird’s eyes
Then opened her own

Start with now

Start with now
Don’t build
or bend
Just go with now
To now
And when you get there
Start with now

The bridge is

The bridge is breaking
One foot at a time
In seasons of sunlight and rain
The rain takes it further and further downstream
As the Sun picks and pecks and pulls at it seams
And still it swings closer out
into the sky
The bridge is breaking
One foot at a time

The ghost at Arby’s

The ghost “A” at Arby’s makes me look twice
A Gothic marketing thing?
Tables full of skinny boys wearing mascara and girls with jet black hair arguing for hours over sandwiches
about how to bring in the throngs without a movie star or a beauty queen.
At three in the morning they decide to take down all the A’s.
They go home to their apartments in rusted out Nova’s and Dodge Darts .
They dream of spiders and bats.
They don’t care where all those A’s will go.
