One single striking aspect, from each of the following four, makes me chose them in particular, for this little collection over the other.
Star Fish Gluttony
Star fish gluttony
What are the word-forms
for co(s)mic encounter
wedding flesh & mind
in one body
He follows a woman...
He follows a woman into the firmament
The solids, sonnets
elaborate requisitions for the god-soul
ah my bright jewelled town
a Widow's band
roping sailors & hill-folk together
congeal on this flat spire
to partake of mineral jets
"he's sick" he should be sleeping
peaceful by air, a movie of dead nights
in a wound, suffer to give out
your red-blue lighter's flame
w/ calm precision
your certainty lives in a match
or a mind
The huts are free evening cliff-dwellers
The trees, losing their variance, die sadly
w/ grandeur
O soft redness & palest blue
like a babie's window
This is the hour you rule
& invite Ventures, quests,
trips to the electric valley down
Times change, damaged
times change, damaged
cat's blood rectify in haste
cactus furrows, wild
thrift catalog of grace
The chase bore inward
raise'd wet & westward shadows
To the strange trust
on the south bow
Augment pure shouter's drawl
& light the candle
Night is comin' on
& we're outnumbered
By the waves, each soldier
bristling w/ his trowel
To search & claim us
Teach our burial
The mind works wonders
for a spell, the lantern breathes
enlightens, then farewell
Each shipmate oars to under-
stand & eyes unoptic strains
to hear:
We came from over here,
to over there
Then old we wonder
mindless to degree
Most seldom furls
in slumber, burns
begins a century
Scour the mind...
Scour the mind w/ diamond
brushes. Cleanse into Mandalas.
Memory keeps us wicked & warm.
The Time temple. Who'll go 1st?
Cloaked figures huddled by walls.
A head moves clocklike slowly.
I'm coming. Wait for me.
