Urban tumbleweed
up and down
to many places
a sack which begins
to want its color
like a spirit of water
returned to the yard
the heart has read
a true grammar in it

Rumiesque
I value nothing
more than error
desire life before
the service of courage
the old must suspect
that the mad motions of the heart
serve no purpose
but love or hatching
the sudden motion of a cellar door
long kept locked
and half the wine drunk
as a remedy
Kindergarten lesson
a paper heart to teach
the rounds of a triangle
her good hand falling
on a roach
Anatomy of melancholy
her physique is cut stone
a feast of disorders
I am a new cook
but will be nothing by morning
my heart must be
a missed supper in her diet
Your cheatin’ heart
what cheating rogues we are
already married to time
hard heart like a contract
none of us understood but the undertaker
who would not be content
with fair words
Smitten
the morning road
where she alights
and I who never loved
my heart a heavy shoe
cannot understand a purse
which is little yet mighty
Late love song
the beauty of her naked neck
I admire it as we eat
she loves horses
and I am in pain from riding
I have lived
a very orderly life
a cook may find my heart
too old and hard
Out of shape
alone with my pleasant rot
I will not be fit
like talk from upstairs
the rough music of the heart
Troubled
I have used a stone
as a boat, but found
it was never very good
in the water.
No open mind shall keep
my best troubles.
I send for the plasterer
to counterfeit a heart.
The sailor’s life
A year at sea, and
the worm in my heart
is like a train through
a city I never heard of.
Heartless
Foul water in my house—
a ship on a fen.
I force the doctor to fetch
for his salary
my heart.
Ukiyo
“Time enough” is a cheat;
we make good sport
of losing. Give me
the passing of things: heart
breaking in the opera,
a love done
after a little sin.
