To Karin: A Plain Beyond the City

...Coal-brown smoke smudged lightly
with hesitant fingers
into the wet grey sky at the edges,

                                      Admit you lost track
                                   under a blue fever moon

Meditations On a Derelict Wharf

...The tide worn and barnacled pylons
holding up the wharf wobble 
on a sea swell like loose teeth.
Most of the decking planks
are missing. Those that remain 
span joists with bones
of rotted wood...

Solitary Confinement 1

...SOLITARY CONFINEMENT 1 : Number Four

Once Upon Perdition

and started to believe 
As genuflecting pylons, 
sent ramifications through the trees
Chaos looked at reason,

Red Tails At End of Day

...Just off the busy road there’s a dirt lane
that leads to a weather-worn covered bridge
where Red Tails gather at eventide.

In the sunlight the birds flicker on hot winds,
rest and watch on pylo...

...The air was metallic,
it had the taste of long spilled blood,
the smell of copper pennies.

A red-eyed sky prowled through bare trees
