January 17, 18

*
Building space stations,
you cannot 
take for granted
anything,
for instance,
air--
(the void pressing 
against us)

(avoidance)

Rain beaded on window glass
looking out at a city,
two dimensional,
against a flat gray sky.

*
On thin ice--
the trend
is disturbing
(but they will not
let it disturb
their profits)
(gulls

ghosting)

Rain whipped
through cottonwood,
cedar and fir.
Storm off the Pacific.
(Denier in chief)
Tree limbs sighing,
moaning.
