7 april

tell how you feel
share aloud share alike
what we know and what we need
put your finger on it
quality and mercy (strange)

6 april

sky comes up
plane lands slowfast --
front rows arrive first --

now we stretch apart
reason's quick abandoned
warm whispers to caught angles

challenge in the waking up
the after day, not night before
sunlight, unshaved, raw truth

5 april

the view from here
rooftop with the curtains up
windows wide and wondering
no one can see in
spotlight showcase scene
ready action go

4 april

blank in a book store
ready for to fill

3 april

so much moon
when you turn off the day
notice the light that fills the emptiness
even as the overcloud wing slices through
groundbound stadiums poke highlights up
forward is the unknown as the nose blows past the apst
now the clouds round smoothly to waves
new treetops in a broccoli forest

meanwhile in the inflight
dazzling dolls and their drama dunked mamas
even as the chips the cookie the soda go by

let us turn now back to dark
lower the sky and up the moon
keep the night drawn close
tuck in safe to land

2 april

details are
the frost inside the windshield
spiderwebbing to cracks
expanding overview and into worry
these are not the real faults
such that you might well fear
these are the fore-echos
smudged circles meant to wipe away cracks
even now catch the light
turning neighborhood corners
aiming ever toward safe

1 april

and in the end no one laughed
there was planning unfinished
lights unlit
even after the fire escape unfurled
still - the looking around, searching of pockets
it's not like pulling a trigger
it's like not pulling a trigger
either done or not done
late or not late -
never mind early or on time
absolutes are sometimes the only measure
sick or not sick
everyone leaning into some direction
lead us to ourselves
switch on, go
