Salvaging the Past

Many nights there were no new dreams,
so I borrowed from the old

Resurrecting the scaffolding
of what lay unbuilt—untold

Come Back Little Sheba

barnum would have been proud
bulldogs in too twos
embraces for show
disks and dark booths
raw raws
scaffolding on saxophones
Scotland-yards of curtains
damp mermen
virginia     sweet william 
and dollar bills in
the greatest broken worth

Ollie

Mr. Ollie used a tall scaffold
It was rickety and kind of old.
He had to fix walls which had black mold.
Cousin Jeff offered to hold.
Scaffolding so it would not fold.
Mr. Ollie said it was good as gold.
Forgetting he had an awful cold.
Sneeze knocked him off, big and bold.
Dead on the floor for days I’m told.
Doubt if house will ever be sold

Summer 1962 'The Time of His Life'

A twelve year old boy  
  stands covered in ‘mud’

What the plasterers call
  cement

His Grandfather came
  and offered a job
  
For each hour,
  he’d pay fifty cents

The buckets were heavy,
  the scaffolding high

As he kept those mortar boards
  full

And at the end of that summer,
  more man than a boy

With new confidence
 —his future to cull

Bald Sky

The fall
was imminent
on the moment of complete truth.
I was talking of annihilation
standing on scaffolding of fear.

Walking on burning coals
was a sacred commitment,
a spiritual solidarity,
with lake salt –
to lift the spirit
of sagging trees.

Of freedom of body
in camps of violence.
Without sound, I wanted to see
the creation in nothing.

Anything was happening
under the bald sky.

Poppies

Like rivers of blood so flooding,
These poppies stay ever budding…
Stalks look like tired soldiers, nodding,
Stems stall like soldiers scaffolding!

Petals, like pleasing gun layers, peep,
Stamens like soldier-spiders creep;
Like smart guns, they seldom unfold,
Like army secrets soldiers hold!

Sign of still, calm, quiet future!
As enthralling armed men stature!
When, in wars, soldier-martyrs, die,
Lying on them, like mourners, cry!
