“Is anyone anywhere happy?”

Leaving Early

Lady, your room is lousy with flowers. When you kick me out, that’s what I’ll remember, Me, sitting here bored as a loepard In your jungle of wine-bottle lamps, Velvet pillows the color of blood pudding And the white china…

Two Campers in Cloud Country

(Rock Lake, Canada) In this country there is neither measure nor balance To redress the dominance of rocks and woods, The passage, say, of these man-shaming clouds. No gesture of yours or mine could catch their attention, No word make…

Sleep in the Mojave Desert

Out here there are no hearthstones, Hot grains, simply.  It is dry, dry. And the air dangerous.  Noonday acts queerly On the mind’s eye erecting a line Of poplars in the middle distance, the only Object beside the mad, straight road One…

The Burnt-out Spa

Poem for a Birthday

I. Who The month of flowering’s finished. The fruit’s in, Eaten or rotten. I am all mouth. October’s the month for storage. This shed’s fusty as a mummy’s stomach: Old tools, handles and rusty tusks. I am at home here…
