To New Arrival

Visitors will have places to start. Bacteria occupy
the black sandstone cliffs, carrying broken glasslike
ice cleats. The views have re-ordered the lake bottom.

Visitors will have to gut the city for stained glass
to be filed smooth like deadly icicles.
Drugs won't be the only attraction this year.

Visitors will have piled up clear ice plates
potentially suited for window glass.
Weather willing, you can see boulders on Wednesday.

The Nearby Comforts

Packing for a surprise trip to empty hotels
in the winds on a sunny mountain.
Can't figure out bowling.

A mark on the clock, at the nine,
changing the direction of the melody.
It turned as though past surprise.

Called out over the forest and the anticipated lake.
The combined appearances of cabins and condominiums
convened a peaceful outback.

Episode of Alienation

He is remembered a villain.
A fresh body, he is traveling by soul
to board his memory.

Sepia-toned films cut his mind—
toxic remedies portraying residues of human reason:
A man, but titan, he ate tormented hearts.

He is vermin, the monstrous dark a pesticide—
an ambiguously familiar comrade
transformed to fate.

faces the deem of the animals
to rape its identity.

In Blaze Years

Sometimes massive crews emerge out of the ground
or crawl on the roads with innocent projects.
There are no cicada writings;

these iconic insects have no "Magicicada" periodical,
no brood spokesman;

hiding in the forest like a loud brush
or a note scribbled on the Atlantic,
and their distinct structures of 13 on 17.

who govern in good faith and good will.
