LAKE CHAIR AIR

Fresh flesh
Lake Chair.
O look lake air,
You like the question.
You like the questionnaire.
Like a lake
You look like the sharing
Of life. Bicycles.
Tomorrow microphones
Air horns.
You look at the lake book
In your year.
Little air. A question:
Did we miss anything?
Did you calibrate the likenesses.
They were like life.
You shook. I made a joke
But no one heard.
The lake felt us.
Cool light on lake air.
A little word: look.
Shots. Chain saw air.
The dirt bikes wind. They wind up
We canoe in the afternoon.
The trees bend. You don't look
In the water. Air comes
From a bend. You steer.
Here we are grasses.
The rock. Of the rock.
A talked-to chicken.
The house on the island
Is on stilts. A lantern
Hangs, the laundry. A log
Is in the air.
Machines. The vest squeaks.
Sediment lines. Dog-bark.
More trees are cold.
