WORDS AND THE DIMINUTION OF ALL THINGS The brief secrets are still here, and the light has come back. The word remember touches my hand, But I shake it off and watch the turkey buzzards bank and wheel Against the occluded sky. All of the little names sink down, weighted with what is [...] NEVER GIVE ALL THE HEART Never give all the heart, for love Will hardly seem worth thinking of To passionate women if it seem Certain, and they never dream That it fades out from kiss to kiss; For everything that’s lovely is But a brief, dreamy, kind delight. O never give the heart outright, For [...] DRAWING FROM LIFE Look: I am building absence out of this room’s air, I’m reading suppositions into summer’s script snarled on a varnished floor. It looks like a man. That knot’s his hand waving good-bye, that stippled stripe of grain’s the stacked-up vertebrae of his turned back. Small birds (sparrows or finches, or perhaps) are [...] SLEEP DOOR a light knocking on the sleep door like the sound of a rope striking the side of a boat heard underwater boats pulling up alongside each other beneath the surface we rub up against each other will we capsize in the surge and silence of waking from sleep you are a lost canoe, [...] MAY DAY I’ve decided to waste my life again, Like I used to: get drunk on The light in the leaves, find a wall Against which something can happen, Whatever may have happened Long ago—let a bullet hole echoing The will of an executioner, a crevice In which a love note was hidden, Be a [...] ODA A LA BICICLETA Iba por el camino crepitante: el sol se desgranaba como maíz ardiendo y era la tierra calurosa un infinito círculo con cielo arriba azul, deshabitado.

My favorite coat, lush sable in color, a petty fake that warmed me to the ears hangs after the seasons a [...] SNOW-BOUND [The sun that brief December day] The sun that brief December day Rose cheerless over hills of gray, And, darkly circled, gave at noon A sadder light than waning moon. Slow tracing down the thickening sky Its mute and ominous prophecy, A portent seeming less than threat, It sank from sight before it [...] Written by one, stolen and made famous by the other. NICK LOWE & ELVIS COSTELLO – WHAT’S SO FUNNY (‘BOUT PEACE LOVE & UNDERSTANDING) As I walk through This wicked world Searchin’ for light in the darkness of insanity. I ask myself Is all hope lost?
