from yezo garland
a reply between streams
of burning doors complete memory
resting in your breath’s heart
sound of sun after inheriting breath
intention of grass bending over your shoulder
wind folding
inherited memory
deer faint
through black trees
remembering rain carry light along spine
distant circle of trees below mountain ridge
grass covering distant eyes grazing winter’s
valley complete sound and motion
of speaking beyond its description in memory
snow in a tree of sky
listen to water opening light
4 bleeding jewels in mirrored palms
wrap sleep’s tendon over warm pews burn wind
through wandering sky blind motion
of sun above distant ridge
night returns in falling eyes of a flowering field
black eyes
clearing distant
valleys
black and gold tongue balanced over river mist
rounded black rocks against
motion of folding clouds your thin pews burning
remainderless in exchange
hooves threading trees of open fields
shadow of bird’s wings circling memory of mountain
snowpath interior
migrating
black tendon
roar blacksun spirits speaking with bridging bells
deer with wind with silent and wheeling voice
enclosed in your action a memory of dawn and night
walk your winter through loose sleep
crossbudding slopes seaward
one silence
overgathering
what memory-paths
you’ve crossed
moon breaking across river with waking child
circling light nested in deer’s eyes
climbing light outside sound of memory
a sky tendon reaching outside your inheritance
seizing hooves over a mountain of light
thin and distant
trees folded into
silent embrace
carry bodhisattva’s light with crossing family
world's arrival in opening eyes of yezo deer
