Sheriff's Way.



and i am with you always
in the heavy soft bed
over jellybean falls

we are the kissing
kitten heads
alone in a kite cloud

choirs to welcome us home
again
always in our best clothes
new and clean

wisps of smoke
through the bells
and away

the shaman
and her fanning
the bat
and its stiff
lion mane

tangerine ovals
signal to one another
hushed roman indians
the teepee greek meander
of mistletoe

our hearts
so deep transparent
staring in the sail
liquid cups
to continent

all the shelf
a brassy
total
you'll say to
enter space
in an enormous
synthetic grasshopper head's
quiet
unsettling quilt

how thing is revealed
imperfection's perfection
and vista's verstu

this is that
and that is this
and stick in a task
a hiss
a miss simulation

nature
nurture
nauture
narture
now tour
knoture
nomo ur
urmono
nurmo

there are subtle ways
a mattress can surf freely
of its own accord
on flowing jellybeans
using only
an electric snake fang
for rudder

writangent
and gentle teardrop
with too much foggy bottom

the quiet seed
at the center
of the calliope
