national park

brrrr the luscious winds& purple flowers
living to accompany
pine needled crags of gentility, issuing
from lands indigenous to igneous vocabulary,
sedimentary minds asilted with starcinders,
fractured colors returning the nest
to the broken tree
from which nothing birthed chaos in the presence
of someone washing the television
in rainwaters, sparkling gusts of
lightning-heavied clouds, and meanwhile
squishing out the pattycake people
so each could drive
hearses of oldgrowth poetry into the
kyoto morning sunrise
to introduce bonsai walmart chains

take photos, leave footprints

that's what the Logos discerned
on the fragile basalt

near the video petri dish
