Ramification
night gains all
the branches
of my body
as small and intricate
as any clock

Nativity
bright night
a rose of blood flying
in the heavens
The year’s midnight
I become a disciple
to the night to see
how things are in the world
of the mole
never mind my heart
Pilgrim’s Regress
how do I continue to lose it all
after night received me
like a strange ear
from the ground up
Restless night
long awake
my mind like a lapwing
all a-flutter
or a lighthouse coursing
away and away
Emotion vs. insight
a red rave is good
seeming to be an art
to ice all pain
but ink comes only
from the night
Rooted
night-colored oak
lush as a suit
my life in amber
is greater than I am
and poor beyond all
I ever overcome
Consumer economy
we eat timber because
the night proposed it
and the fish ate fish
much to the satisfaction of Christ
we eat the world
being very full now of God
Shipping news
all the news now
should go in the same ship with
our knavery and dissimulation
no great fleet
ships like unkissed bodies
nest together at night
take time to rust
Sushupti
a sleeping rain
my mouth still
after dining and talking
deer come in the night
where should I be
if not in my mind
Endarkenment
morning comes white among great
supplies of visions
all seeming to save us
and yet my one head
being out this night
is a thriving ship of the dead
Troll bridge
falling all night on me
that bridge to morning
heart childish as a troll
in a paper palace
a lie is as much to build with
as to laugh down
