3 Small Poems


A Good Poet's Boots


a good poet's subversive
—not to the point of blood in the streets
…………………………. necessarily

but to the point of burrowing beneath
his garden of conceits like an insistent vole
and killing those weeds at their roots

everyone in this way
can walk in a good poet’s boots


~~

Cabin Fever

besides the Bible
there are other books
besides the Koran

It’s not good to be cooped-up in any one book
during the winter of our discontent:

cabin fever


~~

Snow Mountain


The place is cool and distant


The air is clear of error


The vista wide and brimming


Everything is still


Undone
