Ever Since

...A large green iguana fell out of a tree
onto my head.
Ohio has no invasive Iguanas.

...they live in an iron nest
under a back window

they have begun to dream
the way threadbare drapes will
in too much sunlight

scorched by sky
blooms crumple like straw hats

Watering Backyard Flowers

...They live in an iron nest
and have begun to dream
the way threadbare drapes will

too far from the oceans to feel a tide,
by Rome it is narrow, but here it is wide,
great locks of the Erie let barges rise
past sand bars and r...

That spans across; what can it be?
Functional beauty with history
Its help to man is no mystery.

all roads lead home to you
 
the ruins of my destruction
on the rounding patchy earthen grounds
strewn with stiff marble columns
