New Milford Sunlight

An offhand collaboration with KC (italic) and Vaughn (bold).

All Aboard sunlight, Bank Street laughter
eating ice cream in the afternoon
grilled-cheese-eating morning in the noon
pushing stroller, crunching cone
the slowness of summer
and it's hot as Egypt in my ear

Ha Wind

Not a contrary cloud in the sky
Not a sentence nor anything but the sound
of a blackberry bird
shaking a persimmon leaf to the ground
Not a reflex but a humming stone
Cinnamon lips
Buddha-waistband smile
Sorry city smoke you can't go it alone
Zexmenia sunshine
disco lemonade
dalesmith & lollipops
& nasally bees parade

dominant you

the gone
              the going
