  1. POE

    POE

    The waves wash upon some forgotten shore,
    The wind sighs softly among the gnarled trees.
    Somewhere a dark bird croaks “Nevermore,”

    From his perch upon a bust of Pallas above the chamber door.
    The dark clouds split and the heavens bleed.
    The waves wash upon some forgotten shore,

    As a wild-eyed man searches for his lost Lenore,
    Calling out; desperately expressing his needs!
    Somewhere a dark bird

    off to the side-
    was he really there?-
    i see a man he looks
    like me
    this child blinks, laughs
    with my eyes
    around the corner
    women lunch
    storekeepers *****
    and gossip
    cats yowl and dogs
    hump their owners legs
    because they
    want to play frisbee
    in the park
    there's a war
    in the next street
    and a wedding tomorrow
    i visit gettysburg clad in
    cold wind, ...

    There are few of us who
    are here to remain.
    You are not one of them.
    Do not feel sad.
    Do not feel glad.
    Just listen to us.
    Do not act.
    You are not meant to.
    You are not supossed to speak.

    Because you are a slave to our screams. Do hear them.
    Now, how does it feel?

    This failing butterfly
    Spirals towards Earth.
    Her reddish hues speak to me of transformation,
    A drift towards graves, and
    Suddenly oxygenated venous blood
    That will never return again to the heart.
    This leaf will become mulch, and be reborn
    First green, then yellow.
    But her sisters, she whispers to me
    Gliding into my ear,
    In ancient groves, have already fallen and
    Like the men of Antietam
    Can rise no ...

    last night
    i straightened up
    the house,
    before i curled under
    the blankets
    bent to pick up a piece
    of moonlight off of the
    floor

    the other morning
    we were a black
    and white movie,
    gorgeous shadows,
    blue moonlight
    shining down on
    our hands after
    i'd massaged your
    fingers and you to sleep

    i stared down at the
    poetry of our limbs -
