dandelion clocks –
a forecast of wind
behind the mirror
your rough skin and thick neck
my face delivered into working hands
a river salt leached in compound tide
palms breathing internally like a cup
heels compressed into my chin
into the folds of my forehead
skin peeled fingers
bearing weight
your shoulders braced away from wrists
.

and how the L=A=N=G=A=U=A=G=E can make meaning Here
and how the L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E of Can make meaning Here
L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E came meaning here
in four limbs around an oval
man cerated
edges framed
and falling to cedar
expanding in triangular
their shadows white
footprints amidst
a maroon sea
the light of ceiling
soaked in a leaking flood
arial footed
lines pasted to the floor
a small diamond window hidden
in the belly of outside
the space behind the chalk
above her number plates
circular on the road
transparent on the window
the bottom of the trolley
on the buddha’s back
over the whole truck
behind an open sign
before the milk’s poured in
inside the lining of her boots
underneath the ‘specials’
the cover for an ashtray
a jacket sitting on the seat
between lips on a straw
the letter Z on a box
the lid of a bottle of booze
a tray glued to the wall
a pale plate stacked on blue
