the wind
is quiet in trees.

a sixth sense
guides me.

a rustle of wings
and a tangle

of vines and leaves.
hipsters with

spiritual anorexia
block crumbling sidewalks.

i am tuned
to the earth’s music

and voiceless ground.
fantasies like glass

bubble to consciousness.
small sharp rocks.

colors are like
vibrant crayons.

perfectly
wet grass.
