reservoir trigger

rain tempt/ shoots
of new leaves. why do
i care if you contact me

it's been winter so long
and the sky just wants to spill
i'm dry as a wrinkle of baja
but i can feel the water start to rise.

i'd forgotten what you are
a when in search of a why
a wren in lieu of a sky

carry on. all is louis armstrong
and a treble note. sun speach
on vanishing skin, a lit panopticonal pool.

why all the gaps  ?

leap with me

the program stutters its way thru the equation.
it only wants an answer, positive, negative do not

i don't know why i'm not interested
in seeing you. (she knows but isn't saying)
maybe it's that our gods are so different now.
(she cries and forges a thank you note
to the broken water main, post dated for three yrs away
before/after.) the breaks end in lost messages
unmade calls. east coast to west coast come in.
west coast this is richter scale 7.4 are you feeling me yet?
