		<description> oh the questions that i dare not ask your pancreas
your kidneys, your intestines, your nerves
your heart.

each bit of you that is so private there
beneath your pale soft skin

like the thoughts that boldly grow and linger
in each breath before
they fade into the sunset

oh the answers that i dare not give you now
my verse, my hearse, the settled debts and
the balance of my conviction

each bit of me that is so public here
above the dying grass in the shade of my name
etched in granite.

		<description> this sunlight is only a memory

of a distant yellow star

reflected on the cold water 
 she is delicate, and she knows 
 but she does not know. Death

is gentle.  
 he is close, 

and together

they all wait alone

to forget tomorrow. </description>

		<description>
the near-white of a long marble counter top

imported from italy only a few years  ago

swirls with the bits wisdom  locked in stone

when the world was born



deep thoughts are  discouraged 

here with dirty martinis and 
the enrapt rapture of strangers

locked in imminent coital bliss 

   
 a barstool breaks, 

chin against stone 
 the bruises reveal new wisdom.

		<description> I imagine my mother in her kitchen:

the air pungent with whetted appetites,

as she imparted her wisdom to me over

boiling water and chopped garlic;

the scents never left her hands -

shriveled husks of youth,

each wrinkle a memory.



I wanted to be everything she was:

a cook, a mother, a wife, a woman,

but I never saw beneath her eyes

how she wore her pain as easily

as she wore her smile. </description>

 The Dow Jones is red from ash; 
 the Nikkei, yellow from oak; 
 the FTSE, buff from elm. 
   
 Indexes drop with the sycamore; 
 forests thin from shedding jobs; 
 silver eels go down the tubes. 
   
 The rivers fill with inflation; 
 unemployment goes up with the salmon; 
 redundant summer is fading. 
   
 We squirrel away for winter,  ... more  </description>

		<description>  &quot;These of living emanate a formidable light&quot; 
 A mockery of this spectrum against rose coloured walls. 
 Supposed wisdom in the patterns I leave against his knowledge 
 -this is all I could ever amount to. 
   
 Repeat it for your love, your pains, you loss. 
 Repeat it for all its worth; this coil. 
 It grows ever more bitter with each new prayer 
 And there is no death to look forward to.
