Japanese Garden / Jardin japonais / Yaponskii sad
[...]
breaking through the ice, I
scuttle down the riverbank till I
espy the arboretum
in your house…
in your home…
and covered in mud, I
crawl into a carapace,
and down the hallway
you, the coniferous buoy
bobbing on alpha waves,
inspire a siren song,
compose a nodding poem
that will never see the light of day
that will never see the light
(but I)
read in a dream
Japanese garden
head on the shoulder
Japanese maple
read in a dream
Japanese garden
head on the shoulder
Japanese maple
read in a dream…
read in a dream…
crossing crooked bridges,
safe to knit you any garment now, but I
cast off my crafty armaments, I
cast you aside and I
scoot away
but didn’t we ditch those demons?
are we not free to freeze and thaw as we please?
to perch on branches
whittled into benches
built for human
shivering
un cí…"ur en hiver
un cí…"ur qui ne verra jamais la lumi탨re
(mais je)

everything will be
simple someday soon
everything will be
simple, oh so simple
everything will be
simple someday soon…

denuding adamant layers
I peel past a period of interregnum and
inherit the gilt cardboard crown from
the downy-crested phoenixâ€"
my predecessor in this queue of
panels in triptychs
painted and pruned.
the kingdom’s a sham;
Hamlet without the Princeâ€"
and though a tree you may well be,
I am not convinced.
copper head on hickory shoulder,
curled under covers,
a fetal web of words…

Japanese garden
copper head on hickory shoulder
breaking through the iceâ€"
