Sitting place
fields receive me
though I understand
only a piece of the world
a well an idle heart
but I have been alone
here at the present
infinite spot

Geolocation
how is the world
and what and where
these days
gone without going
found and not finding
me in my unbed
Sylvanian
no place or nature at all
prevented disquiet
or the count of commodities
so spoke the old wood
in my fallen ear
Knowing our place
a place is more than a predecessor
we know
selling places never ought to be
countenanced in the first place
particularly selling
a place of ore
when in the beginning the only place for life
came as a beggar into the void
Homeless
I miss the sea in other places
I cannot find a home.
Call me an ambassador to
the first place that put me
out of myself.
Place holder
morning smells like a burning hymnal
now that it’s afternoon
like a vast excavation
by archaeologists of the present
a blend of fresh earth and mildew
ozone and the blood of cut roots
if i were a dancer i would
know what to do
with this wild scent turning
into end-of-summer heat
as it is there are sun-drunk leaves
insects and vagrant warblers
and they seem to have
things under control
while i sit and try to be
a better place holder
The Hollow (48)
half underground
as it joins the river
Plummer’s Hollow Run
Little Juniata
the name alone
is a river
no road sign
it’s not easy to find
the middle of nowhere
coda
self-check
a black-legged tick
burrowed in
Run
Did you ever feel so lost...
That you just wanted to run
And never stop
Because you wouldn't find a place on earth
You belonged to
