winter birds follow birds follow winds
follow nothing

chill rain on my nape the hair
more uneven

snow falls on woods a sentence naively believes
this beginning

spring midnight a car’s thumping bass
reaches geese in night flight

white-out snow a neon sign flickers
lipstick of girls

out of plums his hands draw
a ghost plum

turkey buzzards on a fence face sunrise
wings spread to thaw

a corner streetlight snow-petaled scattering
of your thoughts

spring midnight geese flying north
against my spine

open a cedar box in a thrift store
to smell 1970

spring butterfly bodies in a high school
suffer to watch

nursing home old railman hears a train horn
pick someone else

on this mountain just after dawn this cold
nameless color

under my feet cold floorboards outline
your Milky Way
