The Violet
Forgotten behind drapes,
it shed its leaves, ‘til two remained.
These silent, green ascetics,
broad and fuzzy, drank the air,
until help (me, while spring cleaning)
brought fresh water. Oh, wise plant!

They knew
They knew just how to work the land and when to husk new corn;
they knew herbs for every ill, the fitting depth of a root cellar.
Do they smile down on what I reap, strange fruits of city labors

But They Purloined My Coat
I fall asleep when the moon catches my dark windowsill
Maybe he's crying for me to run away through the stars?
But I'm tied to my bed, by the warmth of the one I love

Ladies say they love the feeling of small fish biting off the dead skin.
I can't imagine getting eaten by fish, even if they are
lippy nibblers. It sounds like "Revenge of the Goldfish Crackers".

A live fish, zoarcid, was captured and taken, still pressurized,

Find the Lost Girl
At the T stop is a sign
for a missing girl: a sweet brunette,
5 foot, 4 inches, 120 pounds,
wearing a black sweatshirt.
Last seen, "distraught" at the
local tennis court; imagine her mom...

A Death in the Family
A death in the family makes the world shrink to only local,
and only now. The presidential election, the Red Sox,
they aren't even chat. What matters are the people in the room.

July 4th, 2008
Many towns canceled fireworks for lack of donations;
so, backyard sparklers will replace the big public gatherings.
Revolution celebrations may reingnite the great fire.

Changes Have Begun
Cheerios spill as consumers learn to use new milk jug,
reports NY Times. Boxy designs are more eco-friendly.
A wise green wake-up has begun restyling our wanton ways.

Exhibit at Boston's ICA
Today I saw and heard the art of Anish Kapoor;
he unsolidifies the sense of space through curves and tunnels.
I wanted to slip through the indigo hole into where?
