Andrew Taylor


Don't worry, the receipts will turn up

No doubt in notebook

take shade surface bubble
rest place

Doorway temperature
corridor air-conditioned

Green fade middle line
lane straddled

Light low sundown
back to work room
back home



Wednesday Lilac

Scout a location
       red light cuts
like a painting

Steffan says
through the mist

lake less reflective
grey scale

a kind of fairytale
       a magic

no movement
       windless

horizon



Twitter Mist

energy of the place we had it to
ourselves feel the force of nature falls
covered by mist like a coat draped
grey with the drop emptiness
