a mountain of clouds (2005)

the wizard's soil in a pouch of water
the moon behind a mountain of clouds made of birds
the muscles that move the eye within

the lake's thousand leagues of unwhispered remedies
the branches of vision seeking final repose of the acorn
the beginning of tying one's hair into a ship of mercy

the rocks that built her body out of milk
the wind in and of itself
the sleep actively awakening other forms

children and parents, grandmothers and fathers,
the food they gathered, the water that walked within them
the sky questioning, the flames warming

the instrument made of all earth and related positions
the ancient enchilada
the hands of a man



2005, the dalles, or
