Thank you, Michelle, for navigating us through all the legal stuff and getting the best deal we could get.

a personal roar
in seas beneath
what herbaceous life is
Michelle
in time sink
some good water
resting rusting
weld unanimously
a massive field
to use how
before fountains out
blood
or a national monument
/
24 drills 18 tanks
the mind a method
of extraction Michelle
oil before blistering
the lives of children
something built to fail
associated production
10,000 ft deep dark
the binding direction
of flows to human thirsts
size is ridiculous
a pervasive field
lungs and minds
a shame to change
humans are not
an area
\
Michelle,
what I would
report of rumors
caustic males
the matte grasses
on damp sands
in June
under sugar pines
rosa woodsill
pale pink star
spangling mixed sky
with white water
the sight shapes
the rose filaments
deep in dunes
a new shore stirs
