    A Brief Dispatch from the Anthropocene

    sweating in the shade
    the boulder and I

    I’d shave my head
    but it only brings the sun closer

    closer still a mob of crows
    re-convenes in my ear

    iridescent midnight feathers
    aimed at an owl

  4. In a dream, I extricate myself from a lover's embrace to rescue children drowning in a river. One of them has already grown fins and a tail.

    That dream slipped away before I could land it—the biggest ever. The laptop on my bedside table blinks red... red... red...

    abandoned in the woods
    spring's late this year

  5. It's not that you're chasing a white moth through the forest; it's just that she happens to be flying ahead of you, right? It's just that things come to you when you're walking. And you to them.

    An ephemeral forest pool, fed by spring rains. Here at the top of the watershed the rain doesn't quite know where to go, so it sits for a while. Ripples on the surface show how any point can be the center of an expanding universe. I love watching them intersect and cancel each other out.

    song dogs
    on the trail of some
    ripe panic

Poems by Dave Bonta, Plummer's Hollow, Pennsylvania poet-in-residence.

Every neighborhood should have its own poet—even if the "neighborhood" consists of just three houses surrounded by hundred of acres of mountaintop woods and fields. And someday, I hope, every neighborhood poet will have his/her own videopoetry channel, too. In the meantime, here's mine.

Because I don't share videos of my own poems at movingpoems.com I wanted to make them a little easier to find here — the good ones, anyway. The others can stay buried in my archives. And I'm deeply grateful to the other videopoets who have elected to remix my words.
