A Lover
If I could catch the green lantern of the firefly
I could see to write you a letter.

Devout
I am all alone with her letters
in the evening
her old talk upon every object
dead letters that call to my pen
so close
Flamboyant
moth to moth
we discourse in letters of fire
still free
Stuck in the past
writing letters to her
I slept on silk
and would not go out
my mind turned to amber
like the evening
Deracinated
in our paper office
in our cleared wood
that only mind will ever own
where to write
letters home to
Debtor
the debts I shed eat
one little bit of me
they come for an account
of my general fear
and I a broke bard
change it into more useful letters
Purple hearted
the war ended some other me
we were as one
in the assignment of heart
having seen the way to write
letters home
Mismatch
her letter tells me
to go and I go on
making myself fit
into the midnight clock
No news
a morning empty
as the paper
a paper that is
not paper
I look at the weather
and letters last
the paper is a thin
sharp nest
any difference between us
is now a new word
Future-proofing
passionate as a river
empty of boats
holding a wine glass for rain
and a napkin for ink
I made an end of my letters
and died in her bed
Greenwashing
green ink at the office
life should not be less
than half hope
deer in the garden
a letter to my wife
telling her my mind
Strigiformalism
ice letters
close all day
night striking out at noon
in the owl’s poems
