Poems by Philip Levine
On The Murder Of Lieutenant Jose Del Castillo By The Falangist Bravo Martinez, July 12, 1936
... There is more to be said, but by someone who has suffered ...
Gin
... Eddie likened it to the holy man's self-flagellation ...

Clouds
... the failures ofwill, the TV talking to itself The clouds go on eating oil, cigars, ...
Heaven
... ignoring your neighbors, the streets, ...
Those Were The Days
... I laughed out loud, and Mother slapped my face, ...
Coming Close
... Make no mistake, the place has a language, ...
Last Words
... No, it can't be, you say, for someone is speaking ...

... To him Bird was truly Charlie Parker, a man, a silent note ...
In The New Sun
... under them. She stretches ...
Clouds Above The Sea
... August, '33. The whole weight of the rain to come, the weight ...
The End Of Your Life
... The rushes, the grassless shale, the dust, whiten like droppings ...
The Present
... But for now there is water settling in a clean glass ...
Night Thoughts Over A Sick Child
... his heritage, then what have I left but false remembrance ...
The Mercy
... Other ships arrived, "Tancred" out of Glasgow, "The Neptune" ...
