today i think
of shapes
of white clouds
that parade
past my window
& i admit
i'm jealous
they're nothing
in the best
way possible
those peaceful
strings of islands
in cloudland
but although
all my life i've
given nods
to nothingness
been a devotee
to dust
all poetic posturing
aside--
i don't actually
love nothing
just its characteristics
its calmness
its guts
to not do
& to just float...
This blog is updated irregularly and has nothing to do with the poet's output. The poet is actually disturbingly prolific. He writes about 5 poems per day. The pages are everywhere, even stacked in the bathtub.
