death and others

1


poplars,

winter.

a deep bare death reaches out

from the ground, a stretching tree.


when I go down in stone when

the cobbles click a cold red robin

will perch upon my stone


2


resist, tame:


kissers, fighters,

banshees, licenses,

skillets, the angry,

beauty in a ditch, country clubs,

and all that does not warrior

its way toward darkness.

3


to be whiteblooded

is to rely on every

thing, except the heart.
