"So often shaken—it is the voice"
"and a horn, a tangent, leads me to rest"
"to widen instead the tube of that measure"
"Breathe on me still, star, sister"
"partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches"
"in the field goldenrod blackened"
Paging: AIDS and the Art of Living
"Why court the brink & then step back?"
"as the stony unbeliever might"
"you blanch black lurk and blood the pallid bone"
"from the wrong side of the world"
"with bat wings and the crystal"
Poetry as a Tool to Understand Our Moment
"this rooster-pull-down-morning glee"
"A deep volcanian yellow took the place"
"The central ton of every place"
"I arise and unbuild it again—"
"reach and reel and roll and reap—"
"Singing songs in whole or in part"
Writing Problems: Shifts in Time
"dreams it can descend upon itself"
"Always it's impossible what someone asks—"
"As a yell able to outyell itself"
"for control took dominion everywhere"
"Puff out the hot-air balloon now"
Writing Problems: Attachment and Detachment in Craft
"Neither describable nor bearable"
"The view of flesh, mind's muchness."
"you recognize the first white note"
"with the first beheading of the jasmine"
"low lying leaves and moist prophet eyes"
"And a green inch be his bearer"
"If they want to pull they should pull at their own pullables"
"like a good baby to breakfast"
"whatever glimmers in mirror and wineglass"
"a child of air, mint, and cello"
"This concludes the tour of the battlefield"
"each a small chimney for a twist of air"
"Because of the fragile nature of the pouch"
"To cut across the reflex of a star"
"Then re-filled with too much, I."
"the clear lymph nor the built bones"
"finer than cobweb and as elastic"
"I want world-light and this-world company"
Paging: Agnes Martin's Writings
"on the crest on each inhalation"
"I lived by silences, by hibernations"
"Too late the last express passes through the dust of gardens"
Paging: Emily Dickinson's Herbarium
