"the waking tree / untangling himself from the morning paper / to meet him mouth to mouth"

And better late that never to mention that my poem "Laurel Thoughts" is live at inkscrawl, along with much poetic goodness -- including some especially tasty poems by Sonya Taaffe and Francesca Forrest. But the whole issue is pretty darn fine. And since by definition all the poems are short -- 10 lines or fewer, per the guidelines -- it won't take long at to read, so that's no excuse.

Check it out.
