From The Last Island: To Lady Elisabeth Verreet

 Oval mirror of the sea,
age-warped isle waved and cloudy,
each angle crystalline and salty.
my lens into reality.

Point of space just visible,
focus of beams ineffable,
swith of signals transmissible,
receiver of voices inaudible

At time's edge. No need have I to shout
in fear about this death of mine.
And any creature here is glad
to offer you a glass of wine.

Brave Coward

 Elisabeth imagines I've
 A yellow streak
She deems I have no dash and drive,
 Jest dogoned weak.
'A man should be a man,' says Liz
 'Trade blow for blow.'
Poor kid! What my position is
 She jest don't know.

She jest don't know my old man killed,
 Yea, slew and slew.
As steamy blood he sweetly spilled,
 So could I too.
And though no wrath of heart I show
 When I see red,
I fear no S. O. B. but oh
 Myself I dread.

Though fellers reckon me a dope
 And trigger-shy,
'Tain't nice to dangle on a rope,
 And like Pa die.
So as I belly to the bar
 Meek is my breath . . .
No guts! --Don't needle me too far,
 Elizabeth!
