An old life
... engagement with the one task and desire ...
Affirmation
... Another friend of decades estranges himself ...
Name of Horses
... in the ground - old toilers, soil makers:O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost ...
Sudden Things
... worried how, after the storm, we would put the animals back in their cages, and get to the mainland ...
White Apples
... and stared at the pale closed doorwhite apples and the taste of stoneif he called again ...
The Alligator Bride
... My left hand leaks on the Chinese carpet ...
Mount Kearsarge Shines
... Soon we'll walk -- when days turn fairand frost stays off -- over old roads, listening ...
Villanelle
... Katie could put her feet behind her head!"When Katie came she never stopped ...
Wolf Knife
... laughing.And I laughed also, perhaps in relief that Providence had delivered us ...
A Poet at Twenty
... ut of their sockets, and the blood will bubble from his mouth, his ears, his penis, and his nostrils ...
Distressed Haiku
... I'm coming! Don't move!Once again it is April ...
The Man In The Dead Machine
... to the cracked leather of the seat, and the breastbone ...
Christmas party at the South Danbury Church
... they stare in all directions for mothers, ...
Je Suis une table
... of speech, by a convention,and there is nothing at all ...
The Seventh Inning
... times rolled from chopped-up banknotes, billions ...
