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.
