I always knew that you would take yourself far from home as soon as, as far as you could go. By the 1/4 inch cut of your hair and the Army issue green, for the past eight weeks I can tell where you’ve been. For I knew, I could see, it was all cut and …
In the dark night a giant slumbered untouched for centuries ’til awakened by a white man’s cry: “This is the Eden I was to find.” There were lands to be charted and to be claimed for a crown, when a hero was made by the length he could stay in this dangerous land of hateful …
To your common sense firm arguments I won’t listen to your voice of reason trying to change my mind. I mind my feelings and not your words. Didn’t you notice I’m so headstrong even when I know I’m wrong? Take this to your heart and into your head now: before you waste your time, call …
Hey Jack Kerouac, I think of your mother and the tears she cried, they were cried for none other than her little boy lost in our little world that hated and that dared to drag him down, her little boy courageous. who chose his words from mouths of babes got lost in the wood. Hip …

“My, how you’ve grown.” I remember that phrase from my childhood days too “Just wait and see.” I remember those words and how they chided me, when patient was the hardest thing to be. Because we can’t make up for the time that we’ve lost, I must let these memories provide. No little girl can …
It crawls on his back, won’t ever let him be. Stares at the walls until the cinder blocks can breathe. His eyes have gone away, escaping over time. He rules a crowded nation inside his mind. He knows that night like his hand. He knows every move he made. Late shift, the bell that rang, …
If you intend to live again, then open your eyes and don’t pretend you’re feeling there’s nothing worth believing. God, if you persist you’ll die like this, and wither in the midst of your first season, cut down with no reason. How can you be so near and not see everything? If you intend to …
In the quiet morning There was much despair And in the hours that followed No one could repair That poor girl Tossed by the tides of misfortune Barely here to tell her tale Rolled in on a sea of disaster Rolled out on a mainline rail She once walked tight at my side I’m sure …
To think of my task is chilling. To know I was carefully building the mask I was wearing for two years, swearing I’d tear it off. I’ve sat in the dark explaining to myself that I’m straining too hard for feelings I ought to find easily. Called myself Jezebel. I don’t believe. Before I say …
He fills the flower vases Trims the candle bases Takes small change from the poor box Tyler has the key He takes nail and hammer To tack up the banner of felt scraps glued together reading, “Jesus Lives in Me” Alone in the night he mocks the words of the preacher: “God is feeling your …

Color of the sky as far as I can see is coal grey. Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again. Shiver in my bones, just thinking about the weather. Quiver in my lip as if I might cry. Well by the force of will my lungs are filled and so I breathe. …
Come as we go far away From the noise of the street Walk a path so narrow To a place where we feel at ease Some think it is haunting To be drawn to the cemetery ground As we There’s a stillness here Thankful found Child’s pose angelic A stone lamb at her feet Part …
The sky was falling, heaven was calling. When danger crashes, rose from the ashes. Like two statues hidden inside ancient rock, we were praying for the secrets to unlock. And when the sun had turned its back on us, in the dark our love kept track of us, pushed together by the lack of love. …
The legs of Maddox kitchen tables My whole life twisted on a lathe In a foreman’s torrent My first English was “faster boy if you want your pay” Barking commands Loud and simple We could all obey Then I was forever pulling silvers Rubbed the sawdust always Deeper in my eye Varnish vapor that could …
Step we gaily on we go, Heel for heel And toe for toe, Arm and arm And row and row, All for Marie’s wedding. Over hillways, up and down, Myrtle green and bracken brown, Past the sheilings through the town All for the sake of Marie. Step we gaily on we go, Heel for heel …
One misty moisty morning when cloudy was the weather I met with an old man a-clothed all in leather He was clothed all in leather with a cap beneath his chin Singing how do you do and how do you do and how do you do again This rustic was a thresher as on his …

You won a prize for that, for telling lies like that So well that I believed it. And I never felt cheated. You were the chosen one, the pure eyes of Noah’s dove. Choir boys and angels stole your lips and your halo. In your reckless mind, you act as if you’ve got more lives. …
Out through the foggy window there just to see the eyes of my future children looking back at me back through the foggy window on and on miles pass years turn over on and on there from that rolled down window ponies run free cradled protectively there in the greenery somewhere I keep this picture …

“Mercy, mercy,” why didn’t we hear it? “Mercy, mercy,” why did we read it buried on the last page of our morning papers? The plan was drafted, drafted in secret. Gunboats met the red tide, driven to the rum trade for the army that they created. But the bullets were bought by us, it was …
Tell me what’s gone wrong. I tilt my head there, under the faucet, but when I turn it on — dry as paper. Call the neighbors. Who’s to blame for what’s going on? In the dark without a clue I’m just the same as you. O, they tell us there’s poison in the well, that …
Oh my dear friend My dear friend Giorgio How has this time Breton Discouraged your liaison with the Eye styled metaphysical Incongruous scenarios Dauntly jaunt about through nostalgic despair Within childlike renderings Of a nightmarish recall “All my images Fragments I’ve shored upon my ruins Pictor classicus sum I am pure” Step solemn with the …
On bended knee I’ve looked through every window then. Touched the bottom, the night a sleepless day instead; a day when love came, came easy like what’s lost now found. Beneath a blinding light that would surround. We were without, in doubt, we were about saving for a rainy day. I crashed through floors of …

My young love said to me, “My mother won’t mind And my father won’t slight you for your lack of kind.” And he stepped away from me and this he did say “It will not be long, love, till our wedding day.” He stepped away from me and he moved through the fair And so …
Something was pulling me without knowing what was leading me on: your shining light. In my darkest hour the only way to bring the dawn was your shining light. But you’re unaware your shining light is even on. Like with a little glance when you take me by surprise and I take a chance and …

That summer fields grew high with foxglove stalks and ivy. Wild apple blossoms everywhere. Emerald green like none I have seen apart from dreams that escape me. There was no girl as warm as you.

Detroit to D.C. night train, Capitol, parts East. Lone young man takes a seat. And by the rhythm of the rails, reading all his mother’s mail from a city boy in a jungle town postmarked Saigon.

Can I be unhappy? Look at what I see: a beast in furs and crowned in luxury. He’s a wealthy man in the poorest land, a self-appointed king, and there’s no complaining while he’s reigning. The lambs are bare of fleece and cold; the lion has stolen that, I’m told. There must be some creature …
The Painted Desert can wait till summer. We’ve played this game of just imagine long enough. Wait till summer? When I’m sure the rains have ended, the blooms have gone, everyone killed by the morning frost. Is a cactus blooming there in every roadside stand where the big deal is cowboy gear won in Japan? …
I went out to the hazel wood, Because a fire was in my head, And cut and peeled a hazel wand, And hooked a berry to a thread; And when white moths were on the wing, And moth-like stars were flickering out, I dropped the berry in a stream And caught a little silver trout. …

The still and silence is torn with violence. A loud breaking sound in the night is made. Hear it grow, hear it fade. The sound you’re hearing, the sound you’re fearing is the hate that parades up and down our streets, coming within bounds and within reach. Now, inside the place we hide away, we …
Trouble me, disturb me with all your cares and your worries. Trouble me on the days when you feel spent. Why let your shoulders bend underneath this burden when my back is sturdy and strong? Trouble me. Speak to me, don’t mislead me, the calm I feel means a storm is swelling; there’s no telling …
The man in 119 takes his tea alone. Mornings we all rise to wireless Verdi cries. I’m hearing opera through the door. The souls of men and women, impassioned all. Their voices climb and fall; battle trumpets call. I fill the bath and climb inside, singing. He will not touch their pastry but every day …
That young boy without a name anywhere I’d know his face. In this city the kid’s my favorite. I’ve seen him. I see him every day. Seen him run outside looking for a place to hide from his father, the kid half naked and said to myself “O, what’s the matter here?” I’m tired of …

I’d like to know what makes you stay while your eyes still search for escape. You think that I don’t feel the cold, but I wait while confessions unfold. You’ll never make a living from reading minds or from getting your direction from exit signs. Look into your heart and you won’t find me there. …
