PROJECT REBUILD


PREVIOUS TENANTS

Vancouver Special

Questions surface amid abstracted city
state shocked, face-sure, beyond senses,

on top of the wood, where answers
move to the east side.

Family resemblance reflects  
through the trees, fits beside grace

on the shelf sliced into the beam.
Within our land, the forest

manages the acreage, the city
slides between look and image

and the windows are always open
and the screen lets in the breeze.

RENOVATE THIS POEM

RENOVATIONS:

BIO:
There are answers in this abstract city
Amidst the shocked and the sure

Through busy woods where questions linger
In the eastern reaches

The resemblance is fleeting.
Grace is found here, at unexpected times

In this forest of humanity
Where silence is the hallmark of society

But windows remain open
To the answer-bearing breeze.
