Juliana Ward
Dreamed a day
In the cedar forest
With a friend
Who wouldn’t look at me
Broke the angel
Looking for light
Dreamed a victory
Of angels over death
From the perspective
Of the fog
Griffin, frog, fish
One is beautiful
The others are miserable
Would rather
Have a baby
Then apply to a job
In a tower
Up against
My thinking’s ghost
The blue seraphins
Giving a puppet a soul
Some of the worst ideas
Get documented
A Tom Hanks sex dream
Floating like a highway
Feeling my reflection in the world
Rejecting the photograph
There is such a thing as too much free time
Roses entwined with eucalyptus
Little strategies of ritual and design
Marking a heaven
Which passes shortly
To be conscious of death
Crumpling time & desire
I run to you
The waxing ocean
Of my karma
Spies of god
Looked up bucolic
Means a pleasant countryside;
A pastoral poem
The end is a shore
From your window to mine
Mythical hawk, first pull
