if it makes
a difference

then by all means;

the slightest living
thing is life

punctuation: now then, now then

It is 8:00 am and they
are hosing down the city park;

it smells amazing:
a big wet lick

of geosmin.

so I throw myself again at what I can't control
and throw it, like a potter, in that which I can.

if all explaining
is explaining away

and telling merely
telling tales

I still will
favor speech

to silence;

truth is out there
is a thing

and briefly
we inhabit it

the fat kids with rat-tails
the fat kids with mullets

Into the woods

I will be taking part in a one day poetry, performance and visual art event this Sunday in the forest of Auvers St George.  It's an hour or so from Paris by RER.  Full details here.
