Dark matter darker
Mad matters, matted, material
Everything comes apart
Everything wants the middle
Wants the tired
Wants the unburdened
Everything everything
On empty

Let It Be
Far, far cry, far away cry
Into the corner, the distance, the dwelled in
Desertion deserving no one
Know how nothing nothing now
Again before begat beginnings
The head of a pin, the last pin, leverage
Bread rises, everything rises, everything
How grass becomes straw
How a forest becomes a meadow
How mountains are born
How answers become questions
Into the corner, the distance, the dwelled in
Desertion deserving no one
Know how nothing nothing now
Again before begat beginnings
The head of a pin, the last pin, leverage
Bread rises, everything rises, everything
How grass becomes straw
How a forest becomes a meadow
How mountains are born
How answers become questions

Under
Under over again again
Somewhere someone’s gonna hang themselves up on a lip and lose their board
Somewhere someone’s gonna wind a clock that much too much
And the places where that camera shutter sound on cellphones is mandated by law
They surveil the surveillance
They milk the cows
They come up with words for different clouds and colors and sunsets
Somewhere someone’s reading a book or making a drink or making a drink and reading a book
All the things versatile
All the things that this way come
All the days and the nights
All the pains staked
Somewhere someone is hunched over a screen
Somewhere someone is learning
Somewhere someone is disappearing
Somewhere someone’s gonna hang themselves up on a lip and lose their board
Somewhere someone’s gonna wind a clock that much too much

Back Back Back Back
This isn’t the day when all the things are coming
As opposed to this news piece that was playing back some wicked mudslides out in California
But like mud, like clouds on a cloudy day, like soup
When your friends throw you in the back of the boat
Half the phases of all the moons
And so the threads fray so so you go
More salads for more meals
It goes around whether you like it or not
Let it

Find
Find your thing
Vascillate, regulate, respirate
Muscular or not
Macular, vascular, vellum
Skin skin skin
Several that sound several that safe
Pieces of wood, wingnuts
Ditches on the sides of roads
All of Canada, the whole goddamn’d thing
The things that bring us together before the thing that tear us apart
Years, altitude, levity
Languishing, longitude, leverage
Everything translated
Everything mediated
Everything present when the present just doesn’t exist the way it used to
Speed, degree, volume
Vacillate again and better
The sun’s down and we’re making the most of it

This Is Like What You Like
Give gave the Given the Giving
Bird leaf bird leaf bird
Vegetable matter, animal products, what’s more
Wince and wind and a whining hinge on a cloudy day
Save it so you can save it
Almost all
Quiet still

Faces in Fog
Static, sand, waves, smoke
Smothered vs. smoldering, shouldering, shunt
Shoved and shut up shut up shut up
Centennial and saviors
Savory sauces
Scrawl my name scrawl my name
Severance and seldom and shut-eye
Cruising
Crushing
Cruft
Cursing
Caring
Caught
It’s all practice
It’s all space
It’s all stars
It’s all taste
Open the opener
Better bailed
Best be gone

Sonnet (Because Too Much Heat Is Vibration)
Because too much heat is vibration
Transitive properties or transitions or perspective
Substitution or constitution or salvation
Where the First Things and the Last Things meet (deep in the heart of Texas)
Sidelines or sideways or similar or seldom less
The threads you pull when the pulling’s good
Fixed width vs. finer grains
But salt you make from the sea
And all manner of things that come ahead of schedule
Arrival and aviator and everything grayer
Brackish and branch and blinding
Because so much heat is inoperable
As epic as awe as mythic and falls
The bottom is still, always with us, all around

Whip the Horses and Make Them Stand Up
No no no
No no no no no
All you birds that were dinosaurs and your quantum eyes
All you trees that talk to each other and get shit done
All you waterbears chilling in space
All you bacteria that say fuck it all the time
All you wolves and humans with your social structures that externalize what everyone else internalizes
All you amazing
All you world
Boundaries as a moving target or a perspective or an overlay false but usually helpful but sometimes hurtful but as real as you make them
Because lies aren’t always bad
Because ants can be frozen into stasis and then come back and not just because people fuck around with them, but because nature

I've been toying with ideas for a new Summer writing project. This is one of the ideas that is floating in... basically a bibliography / for further reading / influences that cross my mind while in the midst of the writing project, but finding a way to take the pretentious piss out of it (or the academic-ness of it) and make it something inviting and useful. "Suggested Further Reading"? I'll keep kicking it around.
And I've always thought this poem / book was called Tape for the Turn of the New Year, but I guess I've never been afraid of a little redundancy ;)
