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 freedombetween them, a bar
to keep them exactly as they areroaches, the humping, crushing hopes of roaches,
persistin fear, in longing, in what losses
gloss the spaces of these lines.
