I blotted Joni Mitchell on paper
running colors callipygian and Roethke together
where ufology and crayons make sex
blurring the contour velveteen with dinosaurs
haiku the canvas with the astonishment of my first bleeding
sword-like texturing of swaths of paradise
wagging Laura Nyro charcoal etchings carefully
a red sable extra fine brush to detail death's true form
