From the frozen-gutter pulpit
Outside the chase-road Church
Of the Old Blow-Down Birch
The animated, grizzled-curate crow
Rants and roars at all
The passing traffic,

Portrait of the Poet
As night’s new choreographed clouds
Roll in and over me
I’m sitting, again,
Whole but alone again
In borrowed skin
Beneath a tree that struggles
To fit beneath the sky.
Between a warm metal heron and
A broken kitchen chair leg
I’m stabbing craziness onto
Poorly seen, second use paper
By stuttering light of gutter candles
With stubborn fingers and a
Well-chewed crayon stub.
Not everything has changed.
Not everything needs to.
