Ah, Sincerely


The Searchlight across

The swell of the river

And no compass

Articulates this lesson

Nor during a time for trees

Are things again

Like themselves

The bells are silent

And, what am I to say?

It is better

In the darker morning

How funny and kind

Sent me a letter

What magnificent theory

Puddles on a blonde road

fulfills the patches of ponds

Of its rounded edges

Up against a sunset color

Intelligible and violent

As a dream suddenly

presses its hand into the rain

Thinks Summer’s long thoughts

Layers tied to happy people

In a flea market photograph.

The Current Stare of Affairs

It was a sound  way off on the green lawn A bank of birds A signature somewhere Like any line Might be my last I walked by the panzer tank  ...
