She wore a beautiful blank stare


Ahh what clouds


Like a question


Counted to ten by twos and smiled for not knowing a better thing to do



__________



Paper


Paper tree the moon is paper

the paper stone

the paper shard the potshard


The paper soil

the unnamed paper plant from


The paper museum

the paper congress with paper desks with paper pencils

the paper ink


The paper doves

the paper pigeons the paper telephone wire

six paper pigeons


The paper lake paper sailboat paper fish paper lakeweeds

the paper shoreline

then

the paper sundown


Paper sand the paper litter the paper rake the

paper

frost


Paper change


Paper reason


Paper courage


Paper butterfly the paper chair the paper frames the paper camera

the sun is paper

the sun is paper

what is fertile?


When the rain.

When the freeze is ended.


The clouds are fertile still in November.

The bed is fertile.


The body is fertile.

Getting there to stations

the convincement of monies for

traveling


The bus is free

the free bus is timely

takes no turns

one can sleep on the free bus

passes through the pastel the platinum the putrid with

environmental control

the seats recline


There is water associated with

prosperity

clean and covering water it

settles into the earth

near enough to stay confidence

it has caused

life


Arrived at the nobody place settling contradictions

reconciled the one and the many

pleasantly enough to be satisfied

gracious

[the shape of land]

[the scaleable walls leaned a water inward to a named creek]

[a bottom flats collected]

[lillies]

the cabin is a station


The bus had let out

in the city bordering the noncity


the arrows pointed

a head holds a body high a clouds move a body swiftly

change goes so swiftly to constance

swiftly they met

swiftly they formed intentions with perforated

lines

fell asleep with

futures


Oh what dream to call a kingdom small and

becoming

I am no more reluctant for establishing amiable bus rides

they go to rivers like the others had

measuring travel in miles

measuring travel in distance


There was a lucky poem comes to mind

at mile 1121:


    When the horses were free freed in idea

    when a callus certainty lets away that which runs

    runs

    carries itself without thoughts of itself

    I cannot say I am discovered yet

    gladly I cannot say I am discovered yet


A hilltop

the busses went went

changing

they were green this year with less smoke
