A video collaboration for As Long As Trees Last, a new book by Hoa Nguyen, published by Wave Books in August 2012. Made by throwing the toy in the air repeatedly (because you can!), edited to a reading of the piece by the poet.

     TOO--FAST SPRING BIRDS

     Love the days       You
     Crave       a crown of bowls

     as in     “She dances like a Bomb”
     Fossil piece and dust on me

     Hands
     these things that dust in words

     Too fast
     a bird that goes and since a net

     I hide or flee
     who finds the fossil pieces

     Beech tree white

     a candy for a hearth
     as long as trees last

     Leaning
     a strong thing
