Poems


      A PERSON IF NOT THE SUN

      Loss
      has sent them all
      to bed

      no gain to rise
      if not the sun

      a car
      a person
      two with the sun

      but loss
      forsook
      and sorrow

      and rain

      drear
      if not the sun

      two-a-car
      in the rain

      in no sun

      SUN'S GOLD GREETING

      happier winter
      fun to the door
      relief refresh­-
      ment long day done
      and difficult

      obstacles

      sun gold fire

      sculpt white rose
      on arches for an
      off-white bride

      with a house at the end
      for the sprig

      0 firerimmed gold

      0 autumn thyme
      branched and bitter
      greeting

      CONSIDER: THE BATTLE

      consider
      conform
      the force of diverse thought

      to the twist
      of actual battle

      to the lines
      of loyalty
      off-side and claimant

      the take of it
      that actuality

      twisting shape
      diversity
      of many and diverse thoughts
      the battle of diverse thoughts

      take care
      by force
      and form
