Anna Maria

 In Anna Maria (Celebrating Birds)

9-14-21

In our accomplice to the answer 

Of a fave in Uncle Dave 

Now today in hunting perils 

To purge out the dross 

And urge one to take up the cross 

Many for the doing of the day

Following us in footsteps all around me where voices call 

On hand or null sines in blocks and scrolls 

Hives and prizes in our racehorse north of fermented pines 

Where we cling to look inside and find it again 

Fresh as studied by the recyclable pillar vernal 

For our insight into cities 

Taking our sort of my renown....

Travelling Miles In Truth All Down The Crest

9-14-21

Of the miles that birds travel in bobolinks 

Methinks kindred in the trees lucky enough to fledge 

To find food in the journey of twelve knowing milk as I might fill in one 

To complete the razor 

Thanking you Jesus in all thing I say

Even before I have ink to catch my breath 

For songbirds I'll purchase a book in excavations in Lazarus 

In my own hometown on marching strings 

White under pouring it for me in things guided 

As the star killed as likely in collisions to be back....
