into spring spirit

springs extreme
experience



the exceptional if ominous
great parts of Mars / red &
utile dust time to the horn,
storms becoming evidence



behave
on water dissonant
containers
cognitive magic &
aridification



maximum zen



shoe
in honor of O
achieves evening
the contire glob
platforks itself
my feathers are
with you no
matter where
you are



two to the edge
whole poets &
heating vents
dialog of light
and heat and
moss glowing
valences of the
sane breath
marching forth



at 6:14pm on Saturday
the 1st of May it was 73°F
in Troutville on Highway 11
South between the creeks
named Mill and Buffalo



the revolves
and CoVid
copes whirr
ling shone
several eels
in the four
foreground



oddly 2021 near shipping
lanes linear shopping car
carts cars hopping shopp
ing shipping containersrs
steel shells still construct
constructed still construct
