Lalage's was subtler stuff;
Still, you used to think that I was
Fair... (Read full poem)

on four honed-down ivory toes
my massive buttocks slipping

the blade that opens the hole
and the pudgy white... (Read full poem)

Invisible air drifts,
Giving a shriek and pop
When attacked, then scooting to rest, barely trembling.

with a sign “For Rent” on the door
and the blinds hanging loose
and nobody home.
I never saw this.

I gazed awhile
On her cold... (Read full poem)

means loving my long brown legs,
sweet dears, as good as spoons;

all ten stages, root by... (Read full poem)

And cloudy-looking woods,
Whose forms we can't discover
For the tears that drip all over!

And they put... (Read full poem)

I'm charmed yet chagrined by this misunderstanding--
As when, after a riot, my city's smashed-in stores appear all
Boarded up, billboarded over, with ads for wind-insurance.

It was a quiet way --
He asked if I was his --

And distance, as of Wheels.
This World did drop away
As Acres from... (Read full poem)
