Through a cell phone, fuzzily

cottonwoods
breathy rushing
sibilance a spangling
shimmer
when wind flips green
jingles shiny
to matte back
and forth
sussed
out from
traffic’s fluent friction
jets sundering
air, weedy
death rustles
managed river’s
church whisper
dog’s lolling rasp
humus crush
under spent
soles

Be careful what you ask for, indeed

Having posed as a quasi-savant in terms of opening certain file types, I decided that perhaps it was time for me to leave my own private Never-Land and attempt to create a blog for my email newsletter, The Monkey's Paw. I really should be doing more practical things, like getting our home loan modified or pinch hitting on a shutter sales call. Consider my virgin post a huge caveat, and yet another example of the dangers of wielding the Paw.
