when you want to hold
your heart's heart
so much that the lock on your chest
bursts,
and the squeaky hinges of this door
scream,
you cry with happiness and grief
(and grief, and grief);
there is only the earth
and your knees meeting it
in parallel collision
and embrace
and not relief.

this winter:
it snows here,
lakes freeze,
i drive on ice.
i sit in the hot
bath tub,
drink beer,
read about glaciers
in alaska.
the only snowshoe
that fits
isn't my size.
i write in six different
notebooks,
crude scribblilng
about a catch in breath,
that trapped sign.
murmured
colors that suite
glazed looks,
braided,
intertwining ideas
passes time.
the world is blue;
underfoot crunches.
i chew on
the long day,
muse on movement,
observe tides.
this is
the universe-accordion.
this is
the color book of life.
this is
where i slumber,
trudging snow,
restlessly, by moon
in the night.

take this specimen.
can you see
how
it has this exoskeleton
protection,
an armor
it could be a talent
and/or
it might be a tactic
an ego-operative
fitted and thwarting,
stealth,
incognito
to examine we must ...
look here, please!
... disect.
if you could
turn up
the lights just a bit
ah, yes, that's better.
thank you
