we stay nimble – layers
on, off, windows, opened, closed – spring,
playing tricks on us

our mom’s azaleas
our mom’s azaleas
unfurl with
tricks up her
sleeves,
neverminding
the gardener’s

the things we remember
the things we remember
and the things we forget
are mischievous twins,
playing tricks on us
on mornings
when we are not

the earth’s mantle still holds
the earth’s mantle still holds
tricks
up his layered sleeves
like an Everlasting
Gobstopper,
a trembling poet,
a heart
in training –
all learning
and relearning
to lock an ocean away

with tricks
tucked up your

to weigh

some days, god –
some days, god –
with his night cap

before the mrs.

themselves,
and the earlier
stitches were
just evolution
playing
tricks again

clicks away, love is a
forced perspective –
you only think you’ve
got a handle on it

broken things sometimes
broken things sometimes
play tricks with the eye –
the mind tries
to make us
whole,
but with every
shard, we only
harden our awareness
