And all that we lack... (Read full poem)

Foreigners are people somewhere else,
Natives are people at home;

And tit leads into tat,
So the man who's at home
When he stays in... (Read full poem)

St. John tells how, at Cana's wedding feast,
The water-pots poured wine in such amount

How whatsoever love elects to bless
Brims to... (Read full poem)

my mind returns again &

18. The Wedding Ring Dance - written by Anne Sexton

I dance in circles holding
the moth of the marriage,
thin, sticky, fluttering
its skirts, its webs.

or is it teeth
clamping the iron maiden shut?
The moth,

As an ant is powerless
Against a raised boot,

Shaking his arms and... (Read full poem)

Old-fashioned knives with inlaid handles,
Watches... (Read full poem)

Yesterday, for a long while,
the early morning sunlight
in the trees was sufficient,
replaced by a hello
from a long-limbed woman
pedaling her bike,
whereupon the wind came up,
dispersing the mosquitoes.
Blessings, all.
I'd come so far, it... (Read full poem)

And takes her lover to her nest.

Or did it just begin --
I could not tell the Date of Mine --
It feels so old a pain --
