poem a

pour transformer lead to roses we stretch our breath to brittle glass where quivers our last words already turned to salt in the orbit of impossible we open a crack into that zone where words ignite melt back into their primal elements thinking this is gathering then begins interventions of light to raise new gold from our language

poem b

I have a weak spot
for crucibles, 3-day beards,
muscular executive
functions, crow's feet,
mouth-shut mastication,
"project" lovers,
correct cutlery handling,
the cresting
of infatuation, that neverspace
where gold shimmers
out of reach
