Poet Introduction
I've been at it for a long time and like e.e. cummings in his painting and poetry I cannot tell a good one from an inadequate one. I'm constantly confused, with makes my clarity so certain. My favorate motto:

Used
Look at me
I'm very much
closer than it
seems I am in
your scream non-
scream dreams:
will you throw my heart away?
Will you make it go astray?

Girl
She happened upon him
in
the snow he was almost
ashamed
at being discovered alone
amid
the pines but he saw from
her
expression that she had
understood
about them in the frozen
cold
there was a confused hiss
of
clouds and stars it was such
a
hypnotic sound that they tilted
their
heads to stare at the chirping
crackling
rhythmically beating fast-flowing
cloud
that was traveling almost gliding
as
if on steel runners:
was this a reflective-mirror of themselves?

Traveling
The farther one
travels the less
one goes.
But we need to travel
to journey: don't we?
Just looking out my
bedroom window I can
go to the unknown, a
hopefully positive vacation.
Don't especially need a door
or a floor.
The farther one travels
the less one goes.

Living Alive
If you are born here
or
if you come here from some distant
place,
like an island,
or
if you see the city rising over fields
and
forests from a home not far away
then
you know rich or poor
you
know that the heart of the city
was
set to beating when the first
ax
rang out against the first tree
to
be felled: this has never ceased
for
the city is alive in a far greater
way
than just its smoke, light, stone,
people.

The Name
The drum continued
in intricate antiphonal
pulse-like steps that
led down a stairway
to the sea crashing
crunching against jagged
rocks: the drumming
would stop only when the
earth was named.
That night the
drums did not stop.

Maybe Baby Maybe
We accept the love
we think we deserve
we want the love we
feel we can trust.
Have a wondrous
Christmas break.

Stars
The stars were out
they shone in incandescent
yellow deep in the green
they were supposed to be
extinguished forever it
was believed that they had
died forever it was
thought they burnt one
by one and would never
light again that they had been
placed too high to be reached:
no one tried the stars were
forgotten or denied.
But now they were lit
not one was missing.

Heart
Someone has a hold
of my heart. She
has no information,
little formation.
Remember there are
plenty spies, with
eyes on us. Will
they ever disappear?
There is not anything
worthy of stealing here.

The New Woman
The exercise the good
air on her long walks
the fresh vegetables
the lean meats bought
at market the daily
small glass of wine
the restorative baths
the clean linen on her
bed every night: all
(plus others) were excellent
prods to health and vigor
but her body would have
remained the wreck it had
been were it not for the
magical recuperation of her mind.

No More
I have one
letter left
to send no e-mails
in this fog can you
find me in my blog?
No beginning and no
end you had no sunrise
in your eyes is this the
way it will be continually?
No more laughter in the dark?
My heart I would give to
you for free.

Thanks
I thank the
morning for
bringing you
I thank the sun
for shining brightly
on you: is this all
really for me?
We will have to
wait and see.

Me
Who knows who
really cares who
brings you up when
you are feeling
down who will be
around when you
feel the way you
do?
Who will count the
stars in the sky with
you? Who will see the
plentiful clouds? Who
is going to trust you?
Only me, only me.
