Thaw

​

To heavy to be thrown

the snowball marks

the foot of the hill

​

though the thin snow on the field has gone

and so the looping tracks

​

it persists

​

somewhere beyond

the roll of the game

​

from which the children

could not keep their mittened hands

one instant​

Monism​

​

there's nothing to do

night falls

but night doesn't fall

​

we in this force 

must acknowledge through skylights

the moon

​

we sip

​

we nibble

​

under the mossy skylights

​

they are just skylights

so far from being actual or possible

causes of the tides themselves

​

and yet

​

it's through the skylights

we see the moon move

​

the mossy moon move

Mandelbrot's Trim

​

When the girl whose job it is to sweep the salon floor

passes behind him, and in doing so happens to be caught

for a moment between two mirrors, one in which he sees himself,

​

Benoit reeflects on how her elegant push of the broom

echoes besinde him, leading his eye, in time,

to a point as sharp and complex as a woman's voice

calling from a payphone to say never.

​

Benoit Mandelbot was the father of fractal geometry

Owl Dialectic

 

Argue what you will

with the tail of an owl

​

insofar as it contributes

to silent flight

​

as the same time

as poise for a view

​

of a vole in grass at dusk,

it planes the air to a fulcrum.​
