And Then
I’ll meet you At the coffee bar, She said, So, I sit Wait Observe Play what if Bufano cat Keeps watch With me Crouching over Pink cyclamen A coated woman Waves But not at me Nor for me Husband returns Sits in a seat His wife Relinquishes His, a call Of nature Or His […]
Whether Stranger or Guest
The firmament piles dark on dark in the east Dark clouds harried by storms from the west If we are stranger at the feast, honored guest All will stand equal when we are laid to rest
