1.1.12


first poem of 2012.

some words I would like to use in 2012. 
this new year:
effluvial. tumescent. carrion. whistle. schlep and lunge.
smoldering. blinkered. distened. aperture. swathe. (or swathes).
or perhaps to write a sonnet or sestina about anything other than:
rain. the sea. the teeming streets of New York. boots on trails.
the crunch of snow underfoot in an otherwise silent forest.
the way people lie and lie and lie again or perhaps, just
tell stories.
