RECONFIGURATION After Ted Kooser   
 
The short-order poet
Has little
To do other than
Peel away
The opaque
And bury it
... Deep.
 
 
 
HOME GROWN        
 
The Dust Devil Family
Spins
       Like a top –,
Kicks
       Like a mule –,
And won’t
      Ever forsake
      The past
      For last.
 
 
 
THEN  [for C.B.]
 
Only an instant
In time
Knows
The song
 
Left behind
The gyre
Of bright
Water –.
