Tottering State
Where
Oddly nothing ought to be
Taken for granted,
Naught even
Your next step.

Eyeless in Gaza: The Overkill Syndrome
Gentlemen,
This life-threatening situation can be resolved
Without needless casualties
If we keep shelling out bromides to the masses—
Rest assured, they’ll soon get over it.

Paying the Bearer on Demand
Believe me, that frozen
Look the ferryman gave us—
So mortifying
We parted with our mouthpieces
And took our seats solemnly,
As convention demanded.

Morning Coffee
Before the large eastern window, remembering
Another dawn and that small dark bird darting
From silver-green olive branch to olive branch—
Now, savoring the light spilling once more
Over the mountains, long leisurely sips
Of darkness in-between.

The Setup
One window is enough for a million poets
To frame themselves
—
So said the poet of admirable vision, no less
Admired for seeing through such things.
NB:
Thanks to James Finnegan over at
ursprache
for helping to set this one up.
