The sound of wind
in the spring
is more rattling
and sharper
than in summer
as things begin
to shake and take flight
Which of the forest number
will shed a branch or top,
or topple
all-together with a
groaning snapping and
taking a tangle
of trees to
earth with a thump
when the longing
and gravity
together
have their way?
but, in the boat shed
it sound like sailing

a giant and a raven
the other night
there was a raven
being tormented
by the crows
in the ice storma giant met me
on the way
back from the
wood shed
from the up-coming anthology:
"Grimmer Fairy Tales"
flying buttresses
A painting that anticipates with curiosity
will become associated with the events surrounding
it's arrival, so what was associated with
the thinking about cycles of calcium
as one of the components of the
predictable,
and prior,
during it's making
the hurricane of new jersey
and of ice storms further north
and from memories of unseen imaginings
of oil slicks and waves meeting freezing shorelines
and then there's a painting made while living on the water
in a little wooden boat,
that when tied to a tree in the foreground
reminded me that
there was once a warm inland sea
and what will it be like sailing my little boat
amongst dinosaurs
Then while out felling maples of dubious character
I came across what is
most assuredly the origin
of the exoskeleton of
those gothic cathedrals
like notre dame de pari
to remind us of the intelligence
of the collective adversary

crows
spring
misty dawn with
a warm breeze and rain
and the arrival of the
noisy black birds
to yell at me

acidification
calcium rich
vapours rising from
fishers and vents
through tectonic plates
into the acid sea and
dissolving reefs
which will in turn
become the sediments
that record
the prosthetic period--
just prior to human
extinction
calcium
in and out of solution
out of the escarpment
into the ground water
into the roots of maples
into the rising sap
out of the tree
and into the
evaporator
fired by maple
to condense
into wool and
cellulose filters
to be washed
down the drain
to start the cycle again
