Venus

all
ready
heavenly

body,
she

enters
the
evening

stars
anew
again.

"Jimmy's Girlfriends and His Late Mother"

Bob Arnold has just published a short story online by John Levy--well worth reading. Here's the link to Bob's always excellent blog.

Footbridge

Frost. The morning
arches

over a marble
river, fast

melting whispers
underfoot.

(First published in Shearsman 1, 1981)

Cliché

Broad daylight. Strange
coming

to terms with it, as if
it were something

out of the ordinary,
out of the blue

nothingness.

(from The Intricate Evasions of As)

Not So Recently Linked

A belated thank you to J.E. Jacobson for providing a link to my blog on his A Poetic Matter. It's clear he chose the title carefully, for poetry clearly matters to him and his posts reflect it.
