zafusy

salt dancing after a storm, turning into alluvium
& falling into faults of bedrock-self

our construction of colors begins
& ends with a possibility of the mind’s white palimpsest

erosion follows the path of least resistance

trust = belief

Jonathan Hayes

vowel: red blood cell + consonant: white blood cell = sentient l e tt ers
floating in plasma, forming systemic life-words

branching into capillary lines of stanza,
organism transcending individual parts

to larger whole of body

Jonathan Hayes

a talk-to-yourself sentence: min(us)
still there, & with stare of “oh”

what comes back once pronounced
…oscillating…

dream = weather

Jonathan Hayes

absence of anaphora

calling you long distance
as we walk together

organic secret:

whisper to a hole in tree
cover it up with mud and leaves

a throat of hair and blood
a faucet of tragedy

chocolate psalm
goat song

New England blue
Rolling Rock and Schweppes ginger ale

a funeral in Gloucester
