When you have no name for the ingredient




but you know it's soup time.  When you don't have the exact word (it isn't on the tip of your tongue), but the poem is front of you -- waiting.  Soup's on.  Poem's on.  Unnamed ingredients and elusive words -- unite.

  1. Incomplete axioms don't know where to land
    and in that moment of indecision falls all the former beauty held inside--
    once unleashed the diagram makes more sense
    and the pattern emerges: ghostly, fragments of life
    skimming the surface of the lake they once walked around
    Small birds looking for lunch
    and their muted songs echo the larger picture
    Funny how this has to relate to other greens,
    other times
