ocean distills in drips of
wood brass steel animal vibrating
as the teller felt
warmth and light in dark
shape
islands into whales
seahorses into mares into colts
birds and fire
notes dying dancing step
turn toward
mountains diving down into sea

running with tiger soaring walls
flickering cave

where is the bridge

a black mirror
warm blood on skin yellow white black
someone washing away toward a vast ocean
i navigate by echo

trying to believe

that is around the corner
poised to invade and press
killing opportunity
stepping through mirrors and windows i express
my naivety
smells and words in thoughts in harmony
moments stretching toward eternity

former bookstore at sunrise
(red emmas bookstore and coffee shop first opened at 800 saint paul street in 2004)

shape passion tract

who is aluminum eyed and spinning around
seeing with their heart
beating and tattered
rising to come and go in blue sky
spinning around beating
through needless constructs of race sex gender attraction
to fill the room

booming
laughter

intersecting silhouettes at sunrise

kilocalories per capita

welcome
festively slim and trim
baking inspiration
pure cane dark light white
sticky brown removed
crystals like time
sprinkled through canneries and pharmacies and photogalleries
moving hands and feet on whirling explosion electric machines
excess manufacturing amnesia

(the baltimore museum of industry, founded in 1977, hosted the award of the first schaeffer industrialist of the year award, which honored a domino sugar executive, in 2004)

steel rolled out of marsh grass
spanning miles rising stories
web and flange
ground substance
bones tissue bound
arteries recoiling
hands on scaffold
keep us
twist bend and shear

brownfield after sunrise
