Blood of wife and man.

Referential Mania,

That beautiful weed.

Shark

The sun casts morning
stars from breakers to buoys.
Bells. Knives. Black arrows.

The Governor paused,

standing on the jailhouse porch,

thought of his grandma.

Spartan Mothers to their Sons

Come back with your shield--
or on it. Then grave quiet
rooms. Empty door. Pride.

TV Hill

Dead man anchors, cold
eyelets in Clipper Mill yards,
guy wires part the trees.

Its extremities 

that disappear the quickest -

from wind, sand, bullets.

Living Wall

Traffic sighs, skylines

rise and fall. So quietly,

nature takes over.
