Mama Brundig,

just as the love did.

irrefutably placed up there,
like a hunk of some big frog
watching us... (Read full poem)

Out of the dry days
through the dusty leaves
far across the valley
those few notes never

somewhere else
and is gone before it
goes on fallen into
its own... (Read full poem)

Axes
After whose stroke the wood rings,

To re-establish its mirror
Over the rock
That drops and turns,
A white... (Read full poem)

To some remotest Plain
A coming as of Hosts was heard
It filled the Wells, it pleased the... (Read full poem)

His awful skin
stretched out by some tradesman
is like my skin, here between my fingers,
a kind of webbing, a kind of frog.

Butter, like love,
seems common enough
yet has so many imitators.

Made cotton-stalks look rusty, seasons old,

Drouth fighting soil had... (Read full poem)

It will seem strange, no more this range on range
Of opening hopes and happenings. Strange to be

more than this one,
an ordinary night at the kitchen table,
floral wallpaper pressing in,
white cabinets full of glass,
the telephone silent,
a pen tilted back in my hand?
It gives me time to think

insomnia at 3:15 A.M.,
