All around me,
separated four or five to a pen...
Dark
emptiness...
Worshiping our words
loses substantial meaning...
My aunt never married;
on occasion my mother...
You who cast your living snobbery against
our years long past ought to bear it lightly...
Squat ugly gnarled trunk
tapering branches flower...
Comes a time when children leave;
they take their youth with them...
The poppy fields of West India and Burma provided...
Victoria Peak...
It is a rare heart that appreciates
the compromises others make...
It is a smallish park built for soccer;
thousands of weekend kids play...
Old Glory is smartly marched down the aisle
when the opening ceremonies start...
It is an Italian elm,
branches sweeping...
