Two Poems

Birds


wind wave wing tern
turn  tin-wave     torn-tin     curve          wave          wind


Birds and Bugs

rare, important thrushes thrust
out the thick cruelties of a thin freedom

                         between them, a bar
                         to keep them exactly as they are

roaches, the humping, crushing hopes of roaches,
persist

                         in fear, in longing, in what losses
                         gloss the spaces of these lines.
