an experiment in permaculture poetics

 

 


Eleven

 

 

no electricity, raindrops

 

          branch the yard toward

 

          fondness, that is,

 

                    stranded

 

          turning asphalt into

 

 

 

a place (usually), a thing

 

spontaneous mortals

 

unprepared

 

          (mountain)

 

pinnacle and

 

its slow devouring

 

 

 

tell it to me

 

in the silt near the surface
