POEM [Your breath was shed] Your breath was shed Invisible to make About the soiled undead Night for my sake, A raining trail Intangible to them With biter’s tooth and tail And cobweb drum, A dark as deep My love as a round wave To hide the wolves of sleep And mask the grave. — [...] TWO COUNTRIES Skin remembers how long the years grow when skin is not touched, a gray tunnel of singleness, feather lost from the tail of a bird, swirling onto a step, swept away by someone who never saw it was a feather. Skin ate, walked, slept by itself, knew how to raise a see-you-later hand. [...] THIS WAS ONCE A LOVE POEM This was once a love poem, before its haunches thickened, its breath grew short, before it found itself sitting, perplexed and a little embarrassed, on the fender of a parked car, while many people passed by without turning their heads. It remembers itself dressing as if for a [...] LEDA HIDDEN Christmas Eve, unseasonably cold, I walk in Golden Gate Park. The winter twilight thickens. The park grows dusky before The usual hour. The sky Sinks close to the shadowy Trees, and sky and trees mingle In receding planes of vagueness. The wet pebbles on the path Wear little frills of ice like Minute, [...] Got this in my email from Poets.org today … and it’s pretty evocative of today’s mood, so I thought I’d share. Enjoy.

My legs are feeling good, I’m shedding a little weight, and yet my lungs seem to be getting worse. Couldn’t breathe today to [...] PRAYERS FOR ATHEISTS – BIKE SONG I give this bike to breathe – no thought where I’m goin’. Cut cord, no cell phone to hold me. Patches on my shirt, dirty black jeans, duct-taped shoes, breakneck speed, patches in my backpack just in case, padlock fat, chained to my waist, Snaked in bike tube, [...] View Ascent activity on 20-Sep-09 at 01:34PM in a larger map Marginally better than yesterday; sinuses not acting up as much, but heart rate was still far higher than I would have like to see. But, I just have to keep telling myself that any miles are better than no miles, and any day on [...] LIBIDO How should I know? The enormous wheels of will Drove me cold-eyed on tired and sleepless feet. Night was void arms and you a phantom still, And day your far light swaying down the street. As never fool for love, I starved for you; My throat was dry and my eyes [...] |
