Snowshoe Tracks

Above the fire 

Next to 

The gnarled 

Moose head 

Single snowshoe 

Desert varnish 

Dry window 

Cold 

Air 

Windless 

White 

Night 

Snowshoe tracks 

Deep within my heart

All Saint's Day

polish the rind
suck the wind
stumbling
fog braced
dead rat sideways tired on sidewalk gray
sea beacons
slime green
no
shoes
just walking out there
rocks
in
pocket
gathering speed

A Poem For 'E' By Thomas Eric Stanton

She asked me if I had a goal
She asked me if I had
Fantasized
Being the
Hunter
Or
The
Hunted

For 
Four
Years

I had crossed and re crossed the big cats tracks

Across a
Riverbed
Always measuring the pace
Speed
Weight
And
Distance of he and i

She said
He has dismissed you

So far

When
He is hungry enough
He will eat you

For four years
I have been doing what I thought was
a
Dance with
The
Lion

She said
No
He
Was only pissing
On your
Footprints

When I reviewed my films
Of the prints over
The years

His over
Mine

Mine
Over
His

I noticed
That there was a slight
Wet line
Over all the 
Prints

a
Car
On the road
Somewhere
Ahead of you
Recently
There

But now unseen

Laying
Down

a

Thin

Dark

Fresh

Line

Of
Oil

Just ahead of you

And you know that the engine is dying.

A Day Without Sunshine

a day without sunshine is a night without knowing 
the goal
the coal 
the filth the color 
these plebes give to us artists 
who were just quietly leaving marks......
..to dissuade another deadly winter
and
then
they
died.
