In a Plaza
I’m sitting in a plaza as I’m waiting for a friend. There’s a bench and breeze, both things On which you never can depend.

We’re seeing different plays, but still At...

Dealey Plaza, are you keeping right on the still unresolved Elm street?
I had a cat, a large one I thought I loved the cat The cat thought he loved me too! Then, one day, They took the cat away The cat, with the bassinet, the little furry presence And Sameeha’s science club chapstick And I thought I was kissing scientific a book cover Where he is artistic in a beauty in the other way,...

Auto Da Fe At the Plaza Major
Auto-da-fé at Plaza Major Sixteen-Eighty was brutal on saints and their hissing cats. A turgid June, thickened as it was by an immature sanguinary wine that failed to quench the civil mob. Above the birthday cake façade, the pink and cerise porticoes, the heavenly-frocked casements, the stucco - a tiered sibilance rises where the throng in a sportive sweat, begets its feverish...

Ibiza's St Eularia has a pleasant playground square, the Plaza del Canon, above the Carrer Molins de Rei, and below the longer Carrer del Mar.

At Plaza Square
At “Plaza" square Where sugary stars kindle for the evening, A forgetting child wake up from the nap, Weeping over, dull night where the time flee as water drains into along distance- Long evening, tossing transparent spirit By light clouds, drizzle on sad memory, I wasn't ready. Were memories dragging me In four directions...
