Diogenes The Dog

—for Elizabeth Boleman-Herring, 
who's always known the difference. 
 
Woo-hoo! 
Too many thought he was just 
A flea-bitten louse slumming 
 
In an earthenware jar; still fewer saw 
He was much more than that--a literate 
Chigger who bit only those who knew 
 
No better than to bite off more 
Than toothless curs could chew.

Dissipation Is

By your bedside night after night, 
One candle after another burning 
 
Feverishly at both ends, 
With no end in sight.

Greek In/Fancy

of light 
windy hillocks 
swaddled 
 
in 
undulate swaths 
of bittersweet thyme.
