Lyrical fragments uncover latent meaning at every turn. Each inquiry disturbs a wider wreckage, admires the forensic light between subtle layers of unknowing.

YOUNG LETTUCE

I can take it all,
the withering of beans,
flowers dying, with dry
eyes I can see the potatoes being
dug up, when it comes
to those, I’m really tough.

But young lettuce in September,
just planted, still limp,
in little moist beds, no.

Except Dems never undo Republican policies. They never returned the states to the Iran deal, climate summit etc after Trump.

INTIMATE

I’m walking around the city
in love, my reflection
in pharmacy windows
like Eve’s snake.

You and I move quickly,
searching for each other β€”
clock hands coming together
on the same number.

INTIMATE I’m walking around the city in love, my reflection in pharmacy windows like Eve’s snake. You and I move quickly, searching for each other β€” clock hands coming together on the same number.

A bird flying
on small shafts
of sunlight suddenly
penetrates us both.

If I hadn’t found you
I’d have had a hard time 
with the phone book β€”
unsolvable algebra.

I wouldn’t have hung up.
I’d have stood frozen in silence,
a voice without words β€”
a street without traffic.

I wouldn’t have hung up. I’d have stood frozen in silence, a voice without words β€” a street without traffic.

But I did find you.
It’s understandable,
the snake in my body
along all these sidewalks β€”

because I don’t read the signs
and billboards in this city,
just the lit letters
of your name.

Words for a Dead Friend

Some nights, or whenever I meet up with the dead, facing out in long lines leading out
of me, you are
most alive among those still
in sight: you
cannot be killed
in the living mind looking in

NIGHT AGAIN


The sun goes down
The moon rises
It's night again!

Alas, the stars
Shine with frigid
Ferocity

The world, wildly
Beautiful, gets
Worse all the time

We get better
No, sadder
Though more refined

Through suffering
And joy, don't we?
At night it's the truth

NIGHT AGAIN The sun goes down The moon rises It's night again! Alas, the stars Shine with frigid Ferocity The world, wildly Beautiful, gets Worse all the time We get better No, sadder Though more refined Through suffering And joy, don't we? At night it's the truth

We know enough
not to ask
for more than this world,
its twinned blossoms
of flower and snow β€”

its feverish kisses,
powdered masks,
whirling dervishes
and incestuous whims.

IN THE MORNING, BEFORE
ANYTHING BAD HAPPENS


The sky is open
all the way.

Workers upright on the line
like spokes.

I know there is a river somewhere,
lit, fragrant, golden mist, all that,

whose irrepressible birds
can’t believe their luck this morning
and every morning.

I let them riot
in my mind a few minutes more
before the news comes.
