eostar

eostar carries eggs in her

blossom stepping blessing

dance hands, she makes even

blossom husks in spring blush

windy, refulgent, raucous blossom

blustering a kind of eggshell

opening

she passes over my body lightly

and nests inside, my heart a roost

for the flowery fool god

desses: who else makes an art of breaking?

open: spring

untitled (music of a mockingbird)

music of a mockingbird spring

takes my long longing for a nest

rain ostinato transforming

bare trees to young horses

we reminisce ourselves from shelves,

shine out impatience and impatiens

lose under the mud for now and ever
the path back to that old anxious center

to heal?
