poem title
cranebag i am bleeding today and tired

up too early before the sun
a flood in the house & now

opening presence
and bleeding a sole;

perfume is art
& because it’s christmas

the only ting
mattering is art

joy is everywhere but no peace
thank you, thank you for such new blood


nothing & not-ing bleed dark soul red
no room for remainder the vision instead

wheres petaled petticoated trailings, a tale in absence

re-visions
the waken set’s sole leak*

scents green and phantom senses punctuate i sans t

where the late year’s beauties
in scanner arts

where away the anti thing worn
in the wan-ting version  –an h-space

the
ting of not-ing

wear tin & tired as bits bloodied ting
the undone done; the un said, don unsad

bring goodness new to
unentitled giftedness

pull & press the want in the din skin wearing away the h

it leaves the rough beast
mounting heaven**
*Note: An ideal for Lakota people concerning children and their upbringing is grounded in Lakota language where the word for children is wakanyeja and where “waken” means “sacred.” Just as nurtured children are considered sacred in having just arrived from the spiritual realm, so too an artistic creation newly arrived from nowhere.  Likewise then, the image-making function of psyche is waken.
