My mom often said he wasn’t the man
running down the stairwell in the garden . . .
When she was found, she was lying on her face.
And I made one big mistake tonight.
I did not call to the Holy Spirit or whistle My lordy, lordy.

Almost Up to Modernism
Here is a factory made fresh by broken windows.
Columns constructed from delirious dust
split into a roomful of pictures that shimmer along walls
speaking in tongues,
destroying the Lake Poets in the process.

Thick Clouds Conspire
O, I’m the man who sailed those early seas
with a pair of wooden spoons on an oil drum,
holding quiet conversations with an early moon.
Key West sank downward under massive clouds
you will feel against your ankles as you pass through.
