i stare
at the bark
on the tree
(this meditation)
until it dissipates
into the sound of
a distant dog
barking
(& divine)

CROWBAR SMILE

this corrosive morning
my rusted corner of thought
bereft of desire
the way chrome winks back
& yr inner child spins in aluminum dresses
i look at you with a crowbar smile
and release you from the prison
of yr core perfection
living in unison (the way we always will)
