The body—it is so sad what happens to it.
But all childhoods are hazardous.
Falling through a grey film of failed memory,
the children and their panic-stricken laughter.
And in the narrowing tunnel,
our earthly mother waiting sleeplessly
to yield the last half hour of precious light.

Young Werther Contemplates Wahlheim
in the Clear Light of Day
(Fishouse Poets #3)
Patience, I suppose: how some things must be,
or be slowly executed. I
consider how the beloved’s
patient, eventual, brittle, misshapen
cracked talk, brothers to keep in shoes,
might end the ease of this hour.
Karen Holmberg / Soft Shell Crab
Matthew Zapruder / After Reading Tu Fu, I Emerge from a Cloud of Falseness
Leslie McGrath / Hearing
Carey McHugh / Instrument for Oversight
Gibson Fay LeBlanc / Oakland Work Crew
Molly Peacock / Picnic

Up Late
(Fishouse Poets #2)
Game after game in the flashlit dark.
In our world when a woman cries
No, here, yes here,
broken by yawns, exhausted,
at whose mercy are we?

Mark Yakich / Green Zone
Seth Michelson / Psalm 146
John Olivares Espinosa / Riding with My Brother to the Dump
