PAST POETRY	MORE POETRY

Let there be trees. Enormous trees on river banks, that speak with white noise of insects and owls, hurling their tenor at the moon floating out of a silo, held high by willows building vacancies that rock the orb weaver and her ball of children who will spill like good omen over uncircumcised hearts and skin of ripe pears, in the pause of light. I twirl jasmine in my fingers Hold hummingbirds in my hands. Undress your mantis body bound by human husk — while crayfish shift in fined silt and ochelli blink this poem at you.   *ochelli is Italian for the "eyes" in a peacocks tail
