Discharged
our water grew better by night
thin and harmlessly sad
my book on mortality hit back
I was living in the dangerous part of town
I bled hope to ease myself
like a bed full of guns

Burial at sea
out on the water
rain is no making of a field
but a great kindness
when I die
who will offer any advice
what will be the question
Industrial park
over all the mills
a white haze
is this holy water
this form of plague
Contemplative
in a pit I sit and think
backward as water
how they measure and take
a counterfeit pleasure
how all nature
is not quite conquered yet
how music and women
give us being
Swamp
alder
at the water
down where I had not been
since the place has grown natural
a bit of rainbow
maimed as a dead leg
Suspended animation
waiting I am one
with the small sum of a heart
the ash of a warrant
the no one there of water
the sleep of a dead child
Inhibited
a lock torments me
unable to give
more than ash
where ash is ordinary as water
and infinite as hope
this lying sea
Body builder
body built of water
which hand is first hand
water built of ice
and a little quiet
On the shore
wind music
in a house by the water
night coming on
Heart clinic
so good a heart
and happy I was
jealous of myself
but I serve my heart
in a sandwich and
am quite another man
holy water to drink
and change to moon-
shine my heart
Cuppa
having to drink tea
in a dirty house I hear
the sound of water
Composer
water goes to water again
and I to song
to live for music is enough
the ear in ecstasy
and all the imaginable world
made of alterations
