other important conjuring
come and disappear
beating branches
without reply
this blue allowed-
in the hollow
pecking otherwise
dry done hitting
hard echoes
of dead wood.
bore with needle
beat of beak-
as draining tap
let the drilled sap
drain back for
the sake of three.
way down here-
thus by every
common man
fresh cut greens-
shoot in desperate
stands of three
one let go-
when every way
was right and wrong
one side pouring-close
while the reform
of time wears on.

Dustin, This is the longest poem I’ve seen from you. Is it one long extended though? I think it is. I really like it. I especially love: dry done hitting/hard echoes/of dead wood. I also love: bore with needle/beat of beak-/as draining tap.
yes. and extended thought.
from time forest bathing.
for the woodpecker.
a stunner, beats well, moves and insists
internal rhythm rushes slows makes
one move,
goes all the way,
brilliant, a wonder!!!!
beating branches with a replay,
a reply, plied and pliant,
blue in the deepening hollow,
drilled and deeper,
‘while the reform of time wears on’
complexly a wonder, all in all you got it all here!!!!!
