Thirty

what tags the bats
entering light
what motive / so they say

300 velvet curtains
on 300 reaches

bird dances ladders
eyes each zero branch
nests on one

how are you?

Fine.. I have some stuff I might blog about later.. I had been taking a break from this blog in late March and then my project for May got put off for September, which was a good thing but slightly disruptive, so I decided to do a NaPoWriMo since I needed something to focus on and on account of Maureen’s pure charisma. Then since there was suddenly all this poetry here, and this is supposedly a poetry blog, I decided to go back to taking a break.
