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 –.
