FILMING THE NEW FASHION
one hundred dandelions
untouched
woven on their own
airÂ
sandÂ
man
doesn't matter
never did
sewing itself to soil
with shedding hair
knowing that won't last
crosses natural fingers
casino mind
yesterday
after delivering bread
we saw a hawk
snake coiled in talonsÂ
blast from plowed field
into life while fighting
other birds in flight
just wanting a bite
the new fashion isÂ
go your own way
and if you can't
look to the sky
everything returns
& bewareÂ
sharpÂ
shadows
