Thus far I’ve written: a 2,200 word essay,
4 poems that please me,
Some commentary on notable environmental works,
Responses to an online discussion
(although I am not sure yet how those count or if they do)
and perhaps this too.
That is why I am here, why I undertake these studies,
to uncover these words
and I want to find them all,
capture them in kaleidoscopes, snowglobes, prismatic crystals,
dioramas, decoupage, collages, and photographs.
My typewriter is a womb, binoculars, a microscope,
an X-Ray, an indictment, a redeemer,
an excavator, an archeologist,
and I just thought
I’d let you know.
