marjorie sometimes my thoughts come to me
in outlines
with numbers and letters and cross sections that make everything clear
and i know how things are and should be
and sometimes my thoughts are in pictures
that swim across my eyes
and my mind
and make delightful dreams come
when i sleep 		000614

birdmad When i was fifteen...

a winter morning's ride on the city bus to school
Near the intersection of Van Buren and 15th avenue just a stone's throw from the capital

The police and coroner were carting away the body of a man who had been shot through the head

and where he had been left to lay there was an outline on the ground only interrupted by the bloodstained soil at the place where his head came to rest.

Elisa and i Looked at each other for a moment as the bus rolled on and the scene fell out of view and went back to our conversation

I focused on the sweetness of her even more intently, putting my hand on her shoulder, twisting a lock of her hair around my finger...watching her smile as she spoke -
needing the brightness of her to shake away what i had seen. 		000614

blindforyou i traced the fragile outline of his lips.
"i love the way they smile,
i love thier rosy complection"
i shivvered my fingers across
his eyelids.
"i worship these lowered walls,
i believe in the iced blue gods behind them." 		010508
