Madwort & Other Essential Oils

Your favorite pot this

study now
a single bee
powder tease

sigh breeze

a list
of things
to do
today

such a tiny weight
like a baby
in a swing
a spider string

blue flowers
light steps
portentous portfolio
ambitious
after evening
of Inherent Vice

as the bee busy transpires
bloom, bloom
blossoms
lobularia maritime

“by the sea, by the sea
by the beautiful sea”

milks this moment
line by line
for you
to make honey

when blissful bee lands
on tipsy flower
branch, soft strand
shakes

bee breeze blows blue dust

never get much
done in this
common loveliness
this stillness this
bee’s momentous
visit

red & white
shadows
orange wings
ocher clay
pot broken
bricks
pavers

this sitting
of course
this entry
this walk
some pics
this post
before you
get out
of bed

these lines
awake

may recede
themselves
like the bee
by the sea
