Slithery white fox whips throughpublished in Ottawa by above/ground press
a meadow of cartoon peonies…
bioluminescent pepperland.
Golden dragonfly
zipping above
a rushing channel.
Grassy meadow:
lupine, golden mustard, tiger lilies
and cognition fanning out.
Peacock fanning out…
swans entwining necks
as co-beings
feathering extremities
like kelp, flowers, hands
in a diamond brain (brine) of lost time.
