The desire to bend



The straight dreams
of spiraling.  Simple.
Inevitable.  Necessary.
More than even
the center needs
to embrace water
& honey, intention
& cloud. Drop
your favorite word
into the center
of a pond & see
how time bends
to the gracious
how next the taste
of raspberries
in particular
delights.

    intuitively blandished surfaces
    smote by indiscriminate abjections
    not sure about the menu yet

    marsupial tracks cast in plaster
    international incident

    (remember the case of the purloined hat rack?)

    negligee found at the back door
    and the box of old tools!
    alarm clock spent
    faint trace of lilac in the air
    hat with white ribbon on brim

    "bent desire, honey and ink" on blue notepaper
