Looked And Looked

There it was in black & white
our faces and what looked so open
and closed a book and some other things
that were books and such there was broken top
I guess or maybe three fingered Jack plus
coffee mugs in that tight space where people
tell about themselves or ask about friends
My face was almost in the way of things
I mean it galloped into view and those
choppers their gap and all the rest
well give away what you can and then
sweep up the extra debris well

This Changed My

From flowers to leaf.
From hummingbird to
a to b. What is between

the best part
walking
at places
my heart

How They Changed

It is so early and late last
afternoon I found
my mother crying she said

it had just hit her
about the virus

and I could tell
a little bit

that she was leaving Germany finally
and also stepping into it
much closer still

bombs they could see
and yet couldn't
how they changed

A Long Way

Chaos cattle what do you think
they thought we were policemen
where is Erin? Visitors for me
ten years old flame if you
only knew he thinks he is the one
a.w.o.l. at Martin's Creek so
Mike knew not too well
serious offense talk should call me

Can you bring me a can
of orange juice Inspector Morse?
Finally doing justice. Peter Mathews.
Fresh information. In England.
I want to keep it that way.
Find him, we've got to find him.
Or, nearly imagined.
