secret berry farmer

berry bear

or red fox

glowing in the always night-

always like a charm

always like a home

glowing berry skins

nail polish flakes

acid on the tongue of a

 black bear

or red fox

seat of sunlight over there

dog frantic!!

teeth to the soft ice

sunlit seat on the orange tractor

who else grows blueberries in the dark night of winter while everything else dies

(except little spinach!)

while bear and fox come close to awakening and tables live on the dried sun holy leaves and leaves give like a wave and all little things sink a little and the dogs nails grow long and the sunlight spots like a spotlight and rock breaks! breaks and breaks! softly and quietly, under the pistachio pyjamas of winter, in the dark night of winter

blue 

berry! bush

hibernating in the winter

like a bear

a charm

a home

  • softness

    i could fit in any boot

    now i fill soles like thick snow

    how lovely it is!

    i am as soft as the love that surrounds me

    i am as soft as the ground

    i'm softer than i was before

    slowing and staring

  • hardcore crushing

    what do the wings write, light in the sky

    tales told to the whistling, empty guy

    stellar moon that turns eyes hibiscus pink

    darling dark hair, shining star, who slips his hand away in the morning

  • what you sing

    reminds me of crows billowing, in the middle of the day when I can see their wings

    of snow and christmastime, falling bright orange or blue, covering shadows

    watching it all from up high
