NO SPRINGS TRAIL
GROUND
Later.
Sections of sky arouse
languid passing
where sheep may safely graze.
Prosaic trees stand
calculated as animation
pours down plot
after plot.
On the grass
as part of a rescue
the teams, domestic and familial
suddenly start &
Into a composite scene
red weekend things
come walking. If you just want to go somewhere
and think
It must have a gripping effect
on people. Power (not suggestion)
darkens the sky. Geese
flock. We thought
you wouldn’t stop
to the noise of alot of decoys.
Oh Shenandoah your great
shape destroys its own
arms. Pen-knife points
To nature, called Ranch-Hotel
after it was civilized.
One born there
charts a hot path
through wet
Without refrain.
It seemed clear she couldn’t bite
the nipple off
though object song
leads closure to lush
garden camellias falling
with birds not bodily
but just. Across deep
green the glory
and the rag fly
writing up a size,
out a window, geometry
proved in thought, tries.
Then these lines swell
to an almost historical rain
founded on our first metaphysical

The window is open. Jiggle the picture. Jar the fruit. A big dog
is on its way.
I have no two things
that take from order
order. Fancy too
is bent
converted. Design
by committee passes
fluster through window
across yard
purpose I always
call things. Fidelity
of enough in the land
of that land,
