It's Still Life

Two Poem Forms: Nonet and Kimo

I.
A Nonet Poem

Hear night rain. You needn’t look, you know
its grey distance. You know lacework
through limbs. Twigs dripping armour.
Dreams swept truant into
some occupied sky.
Constellations
from elsewhere
into soaked
night.

II.
A Kimo Poem

This morning’s air is empty of winter
Bird song pooling in my ears
And green silkens the trees
