APRIL in memory of Donald Hall Everything is coming back but you. The leaves on the maple, the purple honeysuckle, the warm air. People are waking up in the morning, making coffee, making breakfast for their children and acting like you never existed. Nothing stopped but you. And that was the horrible part. I remember […]

Theory of Entanglement No longer impossible: spooky action at a distance. Far away particles in simultaneous disarray, simultaneous harmony (see harmonic theory, see adding to the series one by one, see approaching infinity, see Goethe in the grass, etc).

Still Life with SARS-CoV-2 and then what and then what, what then Meditation at Callicoon More and more night pretends it isn’t spring. What to make of the daffodils then?

Ode to My Lover’s Armpit Triumphant! I have found the secret cave longed for by explorers the cave with paintings of now- extinct trees with dark, frenzied branches reaching this way and that toward the corona in the sky O, locus of birdsong! From your branches the body sings of terrestrial and practical madness The […]
