Origami Trees
For Valerie.I climbed
origami trees with you
to be that much nearer the sun
_________(scraped knees always heal, you said)
I guess you knew
in your silent way
that paper cranes don't fly
It was there
you unfolded your poetry
______________________there
in your mists of wonder
your levitating green
____________________there
your reverent
__________desperation
__________declaration
words without
excess_______ vibration
voiceless?______________No.
Rejoice.

Honestly, your poems keep getting better.
I have a super cool idea. We should both collectively write poems about our friends, then take some b&w photos of them and make an art project out of it.. Seriously.
remember to send me your poems for the dps zine.
