TWO POEMS

Not God, but a body cast

Crackling with modernity

We got too skinny in the city

The gorgeous desolation of our final wave

All newness contains finality,

Spark of dark in infinite bright

Not God, but a border wall demolished

Simple as the heart is aching

Not God, but a watermelon rind

guarding tender flesh

Have you seen the seeds vegetate?

Have you seen the stars burn?

Not God, but a paintbrush

Smothered green with linseed oil

A feather imprinted in wet cement

Elegant, as the sea is breathing
