(z) i sing
air pulled from me
as whisper and flood
wellspring catastrophe collapse
and sun

welcome to the day's parade
shining into empty places
and catching on things
exploding edges
and strikes

rising off lake of sleep
in tin cup land of dreams
and lowered feet reach
and clutch for fleeting boards
i stand

and day is stretching before me
misty with the sleep of nights ages
done making rain from years
and light from fractured lens
and stops

...
(z) and the wind of it's passing
is like years to me
closing doors that seal in the past
the remembered whispers of magpies
thoughtless they sigh

cold under the susurration
the murmurs gloam
hiding in shadows
and the wreckage of wind survives

the wanderings of seasons
form channels
running down the slopes of time
and memory's ghosts
disturbed

and stops
