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


(1-inch window, right-hand margin, p. 125-127)

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

(1-inch window, right-hand margin, p. 13) 

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
