we host tin man, farmer, geologist, and harpist

the point of ice berg above the washing water




plot of land to seed and dig up

we ask the picture frame to
let in more light -- to show the stray hair standing up
from crown



train of cars trills
on its first trip
west
to a city where conversation is quick
miniscule salts for water
for un – composing the year’s births and weddings

a new gang of -- - prices ------- for plot of land

and hay supply and hello

could you open the door the draft would be nice
in this warm hallway
