RAIN
After the rain,
darkness lifts to luminous acres
of space above
and earths sweet scents
breathe anew.
LONELY
I sit alone,
Thinking sharp thoughts
and as warmless as the glacial sun.
I sit alone like a frozen rock
left and embedded deep in glacial rivers

Cactus
Excuse the cactus
thirsting on the sill
excuse its quills
stuck out:
theyre only an attempt
at self-defense
See how it bleeds
to fossils the old sand
itself looking to be such
a fussy fossil

***
The best is a typhoon month. It never fails
to find us, like charity, knocking on
all sides of the rough arrangements we live in.
mud must be plenty for the feet of the pious.
We will show you how we pull things together
from nowhere, life after life,
prosper with children whom you love. Therefore
we will have more for you to love.
