The fall of winter
water where ice
is the expected fur
I fear winter
will be undone
the great glass maker
will not deliver us
the company will profit
big with child
but a bear will get thin
in his amber house
Anxious poems
Anxious poems — a collection of the best works on PoemShip.
Safe space
going where we are safe
as a lamb brought to table
in our sandwich selves
as Eve within Adam
who is even at home
Bewildered
my head full of outback
I am with great difficulty finding
the difference between short and long
I have occasion
to mix my occasions
another me to cast
Soterial
observing a horse
how it minds nothing
is naked and content
like a mad god
what will become of people
full of sad stories
everybody sick
and never a physician
which sea would help us fear
what we have done
which curse
might trouble us
so small and thin
our ear bones are
Flaquito
all the hip and hungry places
force me to get bit
my aches eating me
full of talk about talk
my head is all oven
Graveyard shift
what work I do
is to get some money
but not so much that my pretty hands
come to grief
trepan my head
carrying about bad music
pierce this night
to let the plague out
Covert
who to trust or listen to
where to consult
prisoners whisper publicly
like water in the night
Difficult sleeper
sleep is as much trouble
as any place to go to
pretty but disordered
making us stay so long
a hole full of company
they bore and bore
which makes me lodge
in my own amber
Death angel
the clock over our revels
is an angel on a leash
I give it a while to betray us
and tally all our time
Fire tender
I look into the fire
a whole city of light
burials plague it every instant
fleet hands rising
as if from a man without name
not concerned about sleep
Guerrilleros
looking like people that had taken
leave of the world
we would go off to meet
the enemy towards evening
just as the great difference
between us was in doubt
Prison guard
hear him speak of release
the prison guard
an epicure of secrets
an unsafe door
a messenger from their last
day in the world
