After the rain stops
We go out to squelch our toes
In the clover mud

My grandfather didn’t know he was a Taoist.
He had fished the river Awe for sixty years.
Life is sensed as a flowing movement,
a power like wind or water. When he cast,
it was the bank that moved, not the river…

—Lorn Macintyre, “Satori”
from The Bridport Prize Anthology 2013

In winter, #catfish
Curls up beneath the #thin ice,
Stares up at the sun

Vultures are holy creatures.
Tending the dead.
Bowing low.
Bared head.
Whispers to cold flesh,
“Your old name is not your king.
I rename you ‘Everything.’”

Spiraling chaos
Cloud that roars like a freight train
The center, tranquil

She’s the girl who,
Stepping in a mud puddle
Observes its “heart” shape

The thrush genuflects
Among the rusty red leaves
On its pilgrimage

A curtain of crows
Covers the lawn like black snow
Twittering murder

We call life a road
As if it went in a line
And only one way—
What if we’re popcorn kernels?
Sizzling softly in hot oil…

Evening sees the sky
Peel down to her lacy slip,
Her cheeks turning pink

This emerging bud
Could bare a rose or a tree
Only its roots know

But for happenstance
I would rise with heron’s wings
While she watched me fly

Glossy eyes recite
The final prayer of the doe
In the crimson grass

Joy is not a direct deposit
Or granola bar buffet at the finish line

It strolls in with wet hair
And a warm styrofoam cup—
Sets down its flowered handbag
And takes its time with the chapstick

Before wheeling its smile around
toward your problems

I’m not much of a self-promoter, but if you have $6 and want to support the arts, I have some poems you might enjoy:

A portion of the proceeds will benefit this adorable cat.

The air is dog breath
Sticky, panting, and eager
For a sip of lake

On other days
An empty cafe
is my favorite quiet,
With its rhythmic clattering
And soft country warbling
But today my eggs are cold
As I gaze into the quiet
Of your ellipse
Blinking like the cursor
I don’t know how to move

Unraveling
Tugging loops
Following the lines
On their chaotic paths
Knotted, twisted around each other
Like headphone cords tangling themselves together
They both struggle to unwind their lives
The longer they spend shoved in one pocket
