Then the war
1
Invasive species
Of California
That the gods must rest
The enchanted bluff
Little shields, in starlight
Morning in the bowl of night
Blue-winged warbler
Not wild, merely free
He didn't raise hand or voice
In a field, at sunset
The difficulty
In a low voice, slowly
Fixed shadow, moving water
Somewhere, right now, a hawk
Sing a darkness
Among the trees
2
While night still keeps us
Then the war
As the rain comes down harder
Something to believe in
The blue door
Rough surf in moonlight
Like the sweet wet earth itself
On coming close
Electric
Soft western light
Everything all of it
Blurry finally in too soon each of us
Only portions of the map still legibly survive
Archery
Initial descent
To autumn
Of the shining underlife
Anywhere like peace
Entire known world so far
Night comes and passes over me
This far in
Selected poems, 2007-2020
From speak low
Speak low
Mirror, window, mirror
Captivity
In a perfect world
Distortion
Storm
Now in our most ordinary voices
The raft
From double shadow
Fascination
Continuous until we stop
The grass not being flesh, nor flesh the grass
The need for dreaming
Almost tenderly
Glory on
Civilization
Immaculate each leaf, and every flower
Heaven and earth
From silverchest
So the mind like a gate swings open
After the afterlife
Black swan on water, in a little rain
Neon
Your body down in gold
Anyone who had a heart
Dominion
But waves, they scatter
Silverchest
From reconnaissance
Reconnaissance
The darker powers
Steeple
Capella
For long to hold
Foliage
The strong by their stillness
Faintly, with falling stars
Spring
From wild is the wind
Swimming
Brothers in arms
Musculature
Not the waves as they make their way forward
Gold leaf
What I see is the light falling all around us
If you go away
For it felt like power
Monomoy
Wild is the wind
The sea, the forest
From pale colors in a tall field
On being asked to be more specific when it comes to longing
Pale colors in a tall field
For nothing tender about it
Dirt being dirt
A little closer though, if you can, for what got lost here
Yet no less grateful
Is it true all legends once were rumors
Overheard, under a dark enchantment
If it must be winter
Defiance
Star map with action figures
And if I fall
Dangerous only when disturbed
Wake up
On triumph
Unbridled
We turn here
To lie down. To wear nothing at all.
Reasonable doubt
Fine
And swept all visible signs away
Honest in which not gently
Self
Soundtrack for the frame of winter
Star map with action figures
My monster
All the love you've got.
