Down Came the Mind



where
the floor
spread empty

the
eyes showed a    gleam

an arsenal of jangling

terribly awake

                              the lights
the clatter of      wheels

                              but the

east and west were
morning

you saw
a voice
                              a
nickel watch

my limbs

In This Transaction

little figures by
the units plus the triumph
then what must remain

(1-inch window, center, p. 73)

Corn and Carrots



bad teeth

flat star

the plume of horror
about the house

saying
don’t cry

Weather Girl


In the Rain Dance nation
the weather unfurls

a day-to-day expression
of climate

You can change everything

You can’t change a thing
