thoughtful his middle name
 
deep in the woods

It's always night, or we wouldn't need light.
- Thelonious Monk

relentless

inexorable night
recursively returning
each day
setting off
alarms


imperishable death
defining us
in spite
of everything
else


inestimable darkness
no one can see
its worth


trajectory

the thrown knife shivers
as it sticks
in a frequency audible
to anyone
in the forest


preventable occurrences
freeze the insulated imagination
taking off
vertically
in the path of fire


the elevation you get is greater
than the ordinary
perturbations
of love
of self


apprehension

parading your knowledge
unblinking
in fits of code
I think
I know what you mean


the professors measure
stress
and the drum
marching in apprehension
is soundly beaten


practicum

symbiotic attachments
encroach upon the balance
of the nest
in the crotch
of this fir


timely
spatial repetitions
spell an end
to some of these parasites
but it takes years


you come out of the woodshed
a master tinker
fueled with the freedom
you lost
when you entered
