The Affective Beast Sonnet
Every
grave
is
a
groin
at
night.
Gravity
catches
all
things.
Act
out
accordingly.
Poet’s Almanac and Planting Guide Sonnet
The
waning
moon
shows
how
a
metaphor
makes
a
difference
by
masking
a
difference.
At the Level of Story Sonnet
Lying
naked
knowing
nothing.
Tonguing
a
word
called
stumble.
Allowing
how
rupture
is
luck.
Transfiguration Sonnet
I
expected
you
as
spectral.
But
as
spectacle?
Still,
welcome
back.
And
nice
hat.
Weaving the Sail Sonnet
Awakened
from
drowning
I
now
see
things
clearly
but
only
as
they
once
were.
Semiotic Sonnet
If
you
see
a
tow
truck
towing
a
tow
truck
then
there’s
your
poem.
