Later Silence
Her later silence did not include Albert.
Or did it? That's the part I can't figure out.
Was she somehow praying to that tiny boss?
I thought about it and came up blank
as per usual. Maybe fifty times.
Look here, can't I convince her
to spill the beans or at least
share a few recipes?

Correspondence Course
Sun. Days. Space. Cat.
A thin washing machine
having a chat. Waiting
to tell it like it is.

Don't stop.

Like Wow
So that's what Mom's
Hootenanny!
Was all about
Right next to Ian and Silvia
tile table
too heavy
to ship to Nome
where we waited
for the war to end
with the others
at Woodstock a bridge
over the troubled Kusitrin
teaching children well.

Voice
Then a melody about sunset and key jangling
Lots of shade and trees and fountains
Walking of course with architecture
Gorgeous Vienna I'll borrow everything.
Smoke and crap following. Bicycles
Flowers black and sighing. La la.

River Dog
People at the butte have their own problems.
Water was mentioned but also heat. Scattering
birds chasing. Labrador retriever. Oh Daisy
I am never forgetting you. Luckiamute. Our
rocks and that bear bothering you so. Clay
we used before meeting. Stories of the leash
unhooking during all that swimming.

Abroad
Mongolia was great but home
greater. My tigers didn't make it
into the soup. We walked alongside them
for a great while. Paying. Just thinking
of the wine made us drunk with midnight joy
after a long day strolling along in different cities
no longer part of the crowd.
I'm saving up my money. I am lying. I live better
on the phone. Where everything is modern. Please
put that back where you found it. My body.
Here is where we say goodbye. Until the next scene.
Look for something red. That will be my meat. Look
for something else. That will be their cave.

Newish Worlds
Dancing and singing small
in the new ghost town
lots to drink
before going
abroad.
Green is the color
of my love's dress.
The lights never looking
so lonely so great the pageantry.
They screamed when they spoke.
The men were pawing at their bodies.
They cried with heartbroken longing.
I miss them. Their spell already.
