Solitary
all alone I am king of the yard
I am content
as a fish
and in the company of letters
I do not find people
so wanting
Poems on the topic: letter
Poems on the topic “letter” on Poets.by.
Unwinding
day long as a sermon
or a letter in clear ink
so tomorrow might not appear
where we drink
Adrift
I wake to her silence
tired of being read by others
her other face
against my heart
her body in my hands
as bland as a letter from sea
Belated Christmas letter
This year, trouble settled
in with me, and I mourn
the dying of tongues
and ordinary doors.
Time is no old token.
I have lost friends and
a calf’s head at cards.
Night shift
a night to write letters
I hear the wind change, stop
and beat again
Dead letter
After several walks
up and down, I met
with the dead.
Night is now too sudden—
an old hole.
What news of death?
They hear nothing at all,
believing that a house on fire
is home to music.
Message in a bottle
The sea is given
our letter relating the bad
condition of the money,
and it is well received.
I lie to God
but not to the rain,
my mind full of money—
a little green chamber.
Time capsule
Morning and the road
get me to write letters—
an urn for the last days.
The cost of free thought
In exchange for an absolute,
we pay interest on doubt.
I ink a letter to the thief
that stole a laugh.
Love’s alchemy
I dined with her and found
what heat the alchemist
took home in a bottle:
a letter from July,
wind and fever.
Confabs
A morning wind
did business in the alder.
Coach dined with post—
where the letters come.
A stay had a little talk
with a ship.
So money will give me
an answer shortly.
Above and Beyond
My cousin snow and my father rain
come with a letter from
my brother the angel:
Buy others a home, look after workmen,
trouble the parliament.
