HARD
A HARD SPRING IS GONNA FALL
flawed ice sculptures on the lawn there a
giant snake slick+sheen-clean +white ice
pellets overnight friend’s husband in a chair
gave him 3 yrs. he lasted 4 funeral sunday
first above zero in 98 days my serpent will be
melty slushbrown crown of thorns
resurrection a month away time of pagan eggs
chocolate rabbits +last suppers REBOUND
said my amazonian shaman in the California hills
28 yrs. and still reverberates especially on days when
shit’s creek overflows

Winter 2015
I’ve been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, and it’s a hard,
It’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall. Bob Dylan
